Anisotropic phantom measurements for quality assured use of diffusion tensor imaging in clinical practice.

ConclusionPhantom QA is necessary before using DTI for novel procedures to identify the uncertainties associated with DTI data. It is important to remember that the results are software-dependent and that representation of the tracts may vary between software products. We therefore recommend caution with regard to the application of fiber tracking results intraoperatively when dealing with abnormal fiber tract anatomy.
