Keywords: Neuro: Brain, Neuro: White matter

What do neurosurgeons want from MR imaging during or before surgery? Imaging is needed to minimize postoperative complications and to improve postoperative neurological symptoms. A 3DAC image is a composite image from a diffusion-weighted image without diffusion tensor analysis. It may be more useful for visualizing the Highways of Brain. We were able to predict motor function outcome using FA values in cases of cerebral hemorrhage. We present a method that utilizes changes over time in the FA values. Objective images that are independent of parameters are desirable. Images that are useful in predicting outcome are needed.
