Cover Story: The resection of tumors within the primary motor cortex is a constant challenge. Although tractography may help in preoperative planning, it has close limits of application. While it can give valuable information on subcortical fibers, it is less accurate in the cortical layer of the brain. Surgery within the precentral gyrus is of high risk and requires multimodal functional planning. If interpreted with vigilance and consciousness of the underlying physical premises, tractography can yield assisting information within close limits, especially subcortically. However, it may help in identification of functional columns of the brain in presence of a tumor. View this paper.
