| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We evaluated the depiction ability of the QBI tractography (QBT) with/witout the high acceleration imaging technique (Multi-band EPI) using the structural similarity (SSIM) index and map which are usually used for image evaluation. Since QBT can express the crossing fiber bundles, we can depict the pyramidal tract (the motor tract) and arcuate fasciculus (the fiber of language function ) more than conventional method of Diffusion Tensor ractography (DTT). QBT was almost equal to normal anatomical information more than DTT. I could also adapt to preoperative patients with brain surgery (gamma knife surgery and brain tumor removal surgery), and it has become possible to provide more useful information than conventional method. In addition to, using the activated area of functional MRI (fMRI), we were able to visualize only the fiber bundles limited to a specific brain function.
