Patterning of corpus callosum integrity in glioma observed by MRI: Effect of 2D bi-axial lamellar brain architecture.

In glioma, the two diffusivities (λ1, λ2), enhance due to fluidic edema permeation through CC's bi-axial lamina-type structural scaffold, formed by mediolateral commissural fibres and dorsoventral perforating cingulo-septal fibres. On other hand, the two radial diffusivities (λ2, λ3) are physiologically different and can be distinguished as lamellar diffusivity and focal diffusivity respectively. Lamellar diffusivity λ2 needs to be considered for MRI-assisted surgical intervention and radiotherapy planning in glioma.
