Why Tractography

Tractography is a non-invasive tool that infers the location of the white matter. Understanding this patient-specific information may be used to inform safer treatment.

Tractography can be used to determine an approach to a tumor, to help define boundaries of resection, or for postoperative tracking of patient recovery.
