Anatomic dissection and classic three-dimensional documentation: a unit of education for neurosurgical anatomy revisited.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Preoperative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is used to demonstrate corticospinal tract (CST) position. Intraoperative brain shifts may limit preoperative DTI value, and studies characterizing such shifts are lacking. OBJECTIVE:To examine tumor characteristics that could predict intraoperative shift in tumor...
