[Abstract] Objective: To analyze whether the optic tract and the optic radiation showed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be used to evaluate the value in the guidance of selecting postoperative radiotherapy plan of cerebral gliomas.Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with confirmed cerebral gliomas underwent conventional and contrast-enhanced MRI and DTI before postoperative radiotherapy. In order to delineate the radiotherapy target volume, organs at risk, optic tract and optic radiation, tractography data sets was fused with correlation MR and CT anatomy image by importing it to radiotherapy planning system. The radiotherapy plans developed with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and three- dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) techniques were compared.Results: Both the IMRT and the 3D-CRT plans were ensured the therapeutic dose to the target volume and conventional organs at risk had been protected. The doses patients suffered by using the IMRT plan were lower than that of the 3D-CRT plan both in affected,unaffected side optic tract and optic radiation (P<0.05).Conclusion: DTI can display the location, shape of the optic tract and optic radiation, and the relationship with postoperative radiotherapy target volume of cerebral gliomas, and formulate protective treatment plan to reduce the radiation dose suffered by the optic tract and optic radiation, thereby reducing the visual dysfunction risk after radiotherapy.
