Single-center study of fiber tractography in brain tumor surgery

Brief description of study

The value of DWI fiber tractography for a neurosurgeon depends on its ability to trace fiber bundles from the brain stem all the way to the relevant cortical areas regardless of peritumoral edema, displacement and mass effect caused by lesions. We will perform MRI scans of healthy volunteers (30 volunteers, 2 hours scan time) and brain tumor patients (25 volunteers, 1 hour scan time in addition to the clinically indicated MRI scan) and evaluate the quality of conventional and ODF-Fingerprinting fiber tracts to assess the value of the novel ODF-Fingerprinting method in brain surgery.

Clinical Study Identifier: s20-00511

Principal Investigator: Steven H. Baete.

Other Investigators: Dimitris G Placantonakis, Jakob Asslaender, Timothy Michael Shepherd.
