Zusammenfassung:Devices, systems, methods for validating ablation results in a patient's brain are provided. In some embodiments, the method for validating ablation result in a patient's brain includes obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) data of the patient's brain, by use of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device; obtaining first imaging data of the patient's brain, by use of the MRI device; extracting, by use of computing device in communication with the MRI device, first fiber tracts passing through an anatomy in the patient's brain based on the first imaging data; obtaining, by use of the MRI device, second imaging data of the patient's brain after ablation of the anatomy in the patient's brain has started; extracting second fiber tracts passing through the anatomy in the patient's brain based on the second imaging data; and outputting a graphical representation of a comparison between the first fiber tracts and the second fiber tracts.
