Abstract
This article highlights the importance and application of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in brain tumor
surgery. DTI techniques are important for accurately mapping white matter tracts, allowing neurosurgeons
to avoid important brain structures during tumor resection, thereby minimizing postoperative neurological
deficits and improving patient outcomes. We describe the basic principles of DTI techniques, tractography,
and the application of these images in the context of brain tumor surgery. DTI technique significantly
enhances surgical precision. With detailed images of white matter pathways, surgeons can plan and perform
tumor resection more effectively, helping to preserve nerve function better. The case reports reviewed in
this article demonstrate reduced rates of surgical complications and improved postoperative recovery when
used in conjunction with tractography. Additionally, advances in acquisition technology and image processing
algorithms are expected to further enhance the utility and effectiveness of DTI in the clinical setting.
