Abstract

Tractography and anatomic imaging were successfully combined to demonstrate the precise location of surrounding CN fibers. This technique can be useful in both neuronavigation and radiosurgical planning. Because knowledge of the course of these fibers is of important clinical interest, implementation of this technique may help decrease injury to CNs during treatment of these lesions.
