Microstructural injury to corpus callosum and intra-hemispheric white matter tracts correlate with attention and processing speed decline after brain radiation

The corpus callosum (CC) and intra-hemispheric white matter tracts (IHWM) subserve critical aspects of attention and processing speed. We analyzed imaging biomarkers of microstructural injury within these regions and association with attention/processing speed decline post-radiotherapy in primary brain tumor patients.
