Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
In advance to the comparison of the three different fibre tracking algorithms, three prior steps have to be performed before the final 4th step (comparsion) can be done.<br><br>1. Estimation of the neurological findings 3 months after operation, documentation on CRF.<br><br>2. Estimation of the resection borders to delinaeate the lesion size, voxel-based electronical documentation.<br><br>3. Deduction of the fiber course from the lesion caused by operation and their neurologic-topic sequels, voxel-based electronical documentation.<br><br>4. Evaluation, which fibre tracking algorithm has correctly depicted the concerned part of the fibre pathway, voxel-based electronical documentation, documentaion as table.
