The Use of Diffusion Tensor Imaging in the Differentiation and Surgical Planning of Suprasellar Hypothalamic-Opticochiasmatic Glioma and Craniopharyngioma in Children
DTI enhances the accuracy of HOCG and CP differentiation. Furthermore, patterns of tractography described in this study assist neurosurgeons in delineating the surgical pathway and tumor resection range without damaging important fiber bundles, thereby avoiding permanent neurological deficits and improving survival quality for patients.
