AbstractWe use DTI to evaluate treatment-induced neurotoxicity in medulloblastoma survivors. Fractional anisotropy (FA) of supratentorial white matter (WM) in thirteen medulloblastoma survivors was measured and compared to healthy age-matched controls. Reduction in FA was compared with deterioration in school performance. FA of patients was reduced compared to controls and this was statistically significant in the parietal WM and corona radiata (p=0.011 and p=0.040 respectively). FA reduction was greater in children with moderate/severe, compared to those with mild deterioration in school performance (60.6% and 19.9% respectively, p=0.041). DTI, using FA, is useful in the detection and monitoring of treatment-induced neurotoxicity.
