【 摘 要 】

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a non-invasive MRI technique to reveal white matter fiber tracts, which has been widely used in preoperative planning and postoperative evaluation of brain tumors. Nowadays due to white matter fiber tracts around nervous nuclei can be visualized by DTI, it has been applied gradually in deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of movement disorders such as essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD). In the future, with the progress of imaging technology, combining DTI can better elucidate the mechanism of DBS and guide the selection of best therapeutic target to achieve precise target localization and individualized treatment.
