Using Diffusion tensor tractography, the relationship of Meyers loop to temporal lobe was investigated in 16 Southern Chinese subjects. Operator A is a neurosurgeon and BrainLAB software (Feldkirchen, Germany) was used. Operator B is a radiologist and Philips FiberTrak Software (Best, The Netherlands) was used. The results demonstrated a neurosurgeon and a radiologist using different DTT tools reached similar results on Meyers loop to temporal pole (MLCTP) distance, suggesting BrainLAB and Philips FiberTrack software are able to provide comparable results. MLCTP distance from southern Chinese population was similar to literature data of Caucasian and Japanese population.
