Anatomically informed multi-level fiber tractography for targeted virtual dissection

Andrey Zhylka et al.

Summary: Multi-level Fiber Tractography (MLFT) is a novel algorithm that reconstructs fiber pathways by progressively considering previously unused fiber orientations. It has been evaluated on synthetic and in vivo data and shown to achieve a comparable radial extent of reconstruction to conventional methods while preserving topography better.

Advanced Imaging Techniques for Newly Diagnosed and Recurrent Gliomas

Luis R. Carrete et al.

Summary: Management of gliomas requires careful presurgical planning and regular imaging using advanced MR sequences and PET scans. These imaging techniques help inform clinical decision making and differentiate between tumor recurrence and pseudoprogression. The advances in imaging have extended to the operating room and improve surgical resections. Radiomics offers the potential for personalized interpretation of imaging data for gliomas.

Preoperative Applications of Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Alexander F. Haddad et al.

Summary: Preoperative mapping of cortical structures can provide neurosurgeons with a roadmap of the brain, allowing for improved operative planning, patient risk stratification, and personalized counseling. Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is a highly accurate and non-invasive modality that can differentiate between eloquent and non-eloquent cortical regions, with motor mapping being the best validated application. Language mapping is also common, but not as concordant with intraoperative mapping as motor mapping. Additionally, nTMS has been used for localizing cortical regions involved in various functions beyond motor and language processing.

Summary: Brain and other CNS tumors are highly fatal cancers in the United States, with different incidence rates and survival rates among different races and age groups. Survival disparities, especially in childhood tumors, highlight the importance of providing more resources to advance research and understand the reasons behind differences in brain tumor occurrence, especially among rarer subtypes and understudied populations.

Mapping of Motor Function with Neuronavigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Review on Clinical Application in Brain Tumors and Methods for Ensuring Feasible Accuracy

Nico Sollmann et al.

Summary: This article reviews the feasibility of motor mapping with navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) and provides evidence on factors that ensure methodological feasibility and accuracy of the motor mapping procedure. The selection of stimulation intensity (SI) for nTMS and spatial density of stimuli are crucial factors for accurately applying motor mapping. Despite the impressive spread of nTMS motor mapping over the past decade, variations in applied protocols and parameters still exist, which could be optimized for reliable quantitative mapping.
