Synopsis
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) motor mapping allows locating function in the individual patient pre-operatively and, to a certain extent, decreases the false-positive rate for fiber tractography. However, the false-negative rate is still high. In this work we evaluate novel multi-level fiber tractography (MLFT) along with conventional deterministic algorithms in patients with motor-eloquent high-grade glioma, combined with nTMS mapping-based region of interest (ROI) placement. The results were compared based on the coverage of nTMS motor maps, revealing reconstruction of the corticospinal tract (CST) with significantly higher volume and better coverage of the eloquent motor cortex for MLFT.
