Article Synopsis
- The research investigates how different types of glial tumors in rats affect the attenuation coefficient of white matter in the brain, showing varied impacts based on tumor type and malignancy.
- Some tumors lead to a significant drop in this coefficient due to cell infiltration and damage to myelinated fibers, while others compress fibers without major destruction.
- The study also highlights the potential of using the attenuation coefficient, derived from OCT data, to identify late radiation damage in white matter, suggesting its usefulness for evaluating tissue health around tumors during surgeries.
Detection of radiation-induced changes of the brain white matter is important for brain neoplasms repeated surgery. We investigated the influence of irradiation on the scattering properties of the white matter using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Healthy Wistar rats undergone the irradiation of the brain right hemisphere.
