1. 1
Role of Diffusion Tensor tractography in
meningiomas and correlation between DTI
imaging and intra operative findings with
regard to dural attachment
2. Diffusion tensor imaging measurements rely on
the fact that structural features of the brain
limit diffusion in some directions so that
diffusion is anisotropic.
Diffusion tensor imaging information can be
expressed in several ways, including fractional
anisotropy (FA), which is calculated from
eigenvalues

4. The ability of the DTI to predict the exact site of
dural attachment of the meningiomas.
Plan approach depending on the probable
attachment.
