Research progress of arcuate fasciculus with diffusion tensor tractography

Abstract

Arcuate fasciculus (AF) is a crucial part of human language network. Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) is the most common method for reconstruction of white matter fibers in vivo. DTT is widely applied in both basic researches on the anatomical structure and functions of AF and clinical studies on AF navigation. However, the validity of AF with DTT needs further investigation in the future.
