Abstract EN
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data has traditionally been displayed as a grayscale functional anisotropy map (GSFM) or color coded orientation map (CCOM).
These methods use black and white or color with intensity values to map the complex multidimensional DTI data to a two-dimensional image.
Alternative visualization techniques, such as Vmax maps utilize enhanced graphical representation of the principal eigenvector by means of a headless arrow on regular nonstereoscopic (VM) or stereoscopic display (VMS).
A survey of clinical utility of patients with intracranial neoplasms was carried out by 8 neuroradiologists using traditional and nontraditional methods of DTI display.
Pairwise comparison studies of 5 intracranial neoplasms were performed with a structured questionnaire comparing GSFM, CCOM, VM, and VMS.
Six of 8 neuroradiologists favored Vmax maps over traditional methods of display (GSFM and CCOM).
When comparing the stereoscopic (VMS) and the non-stereoscopic (VM) modes, 4 favored VMS, 2 favored VM, and 2 had no preference.
In conclusion, processing and visualizing DTI data stereoscopically is technically feasible.
An initial survey of users indicated that Vmax based display methodology with or without stereoscopic visualization seems to be preferred over traditional methods to display DTI data.
