Imaging the peritumoral zone of pediatric brain tumors using diffusion tensor imaging: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Final Pr. ID: Poster #: SCI-078
The purpose of this exhibit is to ilustrate how the DTI color map can characterize the peritumoral zone in pediatric brain tumors, which is of potential benefit in preoperative planning. Read More

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a generalized autoimmune connective tissue disease which can cause white-matter micro-architectural changes in the central nervous system. Further, involvement appears to be independent of the presence or absence of neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, these findings have largely been elucidated in adults with an overall paucity of data regarding white-matter micro-architectural changes in the pediatric SLE population. The purpose of this study is to objectively identify the presence of white-matter micro-architectural changes in pediatric patients with SLE compared to age-matched healthy controls. Read More
