Tractography-based Predictors of Post-Stroke Aphasia: A Systematic Review

Key Points

• This research aims to identify the structural predictors of post-stroke aphasia using tractography techniques.
• Conducted a systematic review of existing studies on tractography and post-stroke aphasia.
• Focused on the role of the arcuate fasciculus in predicting aphasia outcomes.
• Emphasized the need for standardization and multicenter studies for clinical application.
• Identified the arcuate fasciculus as the most consistent predictor of post-stroke aphasia.
• Highlighted the necessity for standardized tractography protocols to improve diagnostic accuracy.
• Recognized the gap in multicenter validation for clinical implementation.
