| Research Abstract |
For depicting a brain white matter tractography, the crossing-fiber model allowed the depiction of the pyramidal tract and sensory fiber, too. Also, I became able to depict tractography associated with the local cerebral function by using the activated area of fMRI. After having confirmed precision of this method in healthy subjects, I applied tractography using the crossing-fiber model to the brain surgery preoperative patients. I was able to depict pyramidal tract and sensory fiber similar to healthy subjects. I became able to thereby offer information useful preoperatively of the brain surgery.
