Article Synopsis
- Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging white matter tractography helps plan brain surgeries by aiming to excise tumors while preserving brain function, but faces challenges due to limitations in standard imaging techniques.
- Track density imaging (TDI) offers enhanced visualization of brain connections over traditional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), potentially improving surgical planning.
- This study compared TDI-based maps to DTI-based maps using patient data, with five neurosurgeons evaluating their utility in pre-surgical planning.
Purpose: Report our institutional experience with pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) to contribute to limited data on optimal management.
Methods: Patients with pathologically confirmed PXA treated at our institution between 1990 and 2019 were identified. Demographic information, tumor grade, treatment variables, and clinical outcomes were collected from patient charts.
