Reconstruction of White Matter Fibre Tracts Using Diffusion Kurtosis Tensor Imaging at 1.5T: Pre-Surgical Planning in Patients with Gliomas

Tractography studies for pre-surgical planning of primary brain tumors is typically done using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which cannot resolve crossing, kissing or highly angulated fibres. Tractography based on the estimation of the diffusion kurtosis (DK) tensor was recently demonstrated to en...
