Assessing structural integrity of the pyramidal tracts with diffusion spectrum imaging to predict postoperative motor function in pediatric epilepsy patients with hemispherectomy

Abstract Background Hemispherectomy is an effective treatment option for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy caused by hemispheric lesions. However, patients often have deterioration of their motor functions postoperatively. Diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) was reliable in presenting the natural s...
