3 Objective The integration of modern neuroimaging into treatment planning has increased the therapeutic potential & safety of stereotactic radiosurgery We report our method of integrating Stereotactic Diffusion Tensor Tractography (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging into conventional treatment planning for Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery (GK-SRS).

10 Methods 20 patients who underwent GK-SRS comprised the study cohort. 1 test case, 5 patients with AVM, 9 patients with cerebral metastases, 1 parasagittal meningioma & 4 patients with vestibular schwannoma. Diffusion tensor images were performed at the time of standard GK Protocol MR (T1 & T2) imaging for treatment with the patient's head being secured by a leksell stereotactic frame. All studies were performed on a 1.5T Magnet (Phillips) with our standard head coil. DTI was performed with diffusion gradients in 32 directions & coregistered to the volumetric T1 study. DTI post processing by means of commercially available software (Medtronic Inc.) allowed tensor computation & the creation of DEC, ADC & FA mapped sequences. In addition the software allowed visualized critical tracts to be exported as a structural volume & integrated into gamma plan as an organ at risk during shot planning. The combined images were transferred to Gamma plan & integrated into treatment planning.

19 Exporting Tracts Navigation Exam: the navigation exam used as the reference in the Coregistration step of the DTI Tensor Preparation and to build the tracts. This should be same exam that is to be used as the reference exam when registering the patient in surgery. Also Export Navigation Exam: check this box to export the navigation exam along with the 3D object data. Also Export Hybrid Navigation Exam: check this box to export an exam in which the 3D object data is overlaid as filled areas on the navigation exam. If the 3D object is too thick, adjust the 3D Object Distance in the More Options dialog of the Fiber Tracking tool card.

21 Results Stereotactic DTI was successful in all patients with generation of correct directionally coded color (DEC) images. Tract generation with the software was straightforward & reproducible particularly axial tracts such as the optic radiation & the arcuate fasciculus. Corticospinal tract visualization suffered from some artifact from the base of the stereotactic frame but this was over come by a combination of frame/mr volume adjustment & DTI seeding parameters. Co-registration of the DTI series with the T1 treatment volume at the time of imaging was essential for the generation of correct tensor data. All patients with the exception of the VS cases had treatment pathology in the vicinity of eloquent tracts and or cortex. No new neurological deficit due to radiation was recorded at the short- term follow-up.

34 Conclusions Recent reports in the medical literature have suggested that white matter tracts (particularly the optic radiation & arcuate fasciculus) are more vulnerable to radiation during SRS than what was previously thought. Integration of Stereotactic Tractography into GK-SRS represents a promising tool for preventing GK-SRS complications by reduction in radiation doses to functional organs at risk, including critical cortical areas & subcortical white matter tracts.
