This study aimed to preliminarily investigate the postoperative changes of AF in glioma patients detected by two-tensor UKF tractography from the perspective of the usefulness as a reference for postoperative recovery of language functions. The postoperative changes of AF were evaluated chronologically in relation to postoperative changes in language functions after surgery. Our study preliminarily shows that postoperative changes in the long segment of the left AF detected by two-tensor UKF tractography may be a predicting factor for postoperative language functional outcomes. Postoperative changes in the long and posterior segment of the left AF may be related with the language comprehending and repeating ability in glioma patients.
