Resumen

HERNANDEZ, José Fernando et al. Brain fascicles volumetry in healthy population. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2019, vol.83, n.3, pp.95-101. ISSN 1852-9992.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0039-1693672.

Objective Since the appearance of tractography, as it is a non-invasive technique and uses the widely known magnetic resonance (MR), the study of white matter has been facilitated. After this, great discoveries have been made regarding the brain fascicles involved in cognitive functions. However, its evaluation continues to be subjective and depends on the evaluator's experience and training. That the reason why its applicability has been limited in clinical practice. Because of this, it is convenient to parametrize cerebral volumes of white matter in healthy population through an electronic, reproducible tool that could be applied in patients. Materials and Methods Ten neurologically healthy subjects are reported, for each subject we acquired images weighted by diffusion and the results were visualized by means of FiberNavigator (http://scilus.github.io/fibernavigator). Finally, this same tool was used to purify the fascicles under study and perform the fiber count. Results Volumetric values of the upper longitudinal fasciculus, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, inferior frontoccipital fasciculus, uncinated fasciculus and cingulate fasciculus were obtained, identifying that there are not statistically significant differences in the number of fibers that make up the cerebral fascicles. Discussion The results achieved of the anatomical and fiber directionality of the cerebral fascicles of this study, coincide with the rest of the evidence published up to now, without finding differences regarding its organization and route. Conclusion Although these results do not serve as reference values to be applied in patients with neurological pathology, do we provide nonexistent information so far, with this specific equipment and the reproducibility between the different users and the software.
