Diffusion Tensor Imaging represents a significant leap for neurosurgical planning, providing detailed information about eloquent white matter structures.

BrainLAB takes this technology to the next level with full integration into iPlan surgical planning software. This unique combination allows surgeons to make best use of DTI imaging information and apply it to treatment plans for navigated surgery. The results are safer surgery and better patient outcomes.

• Full integration of DICOM DTI data
• Automatic detection of diffusion directions
• Calculation of the fractional anisotropy (FA) map and diffusion information
• New user interface for fiber tracking with options for tracking parameters
• Definition of region of interest
• Interactive selection of fiber tracts
• Overlay to other anatomical or functional images
• Conversion of fiber tracts to 3D structures for usage with the navigation
