<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Epilepsy surgery is a well-established method of treatment for pharmacoresistant focal epilepsies, but it carries an inherent risk of damaging eloquent brain structures. This holds true in particular for visual system pathways, where the damage to, for example, the optic radiation may result in postoperative visual field defects. Such risk can be minimized by the identification and localization of visual pathways using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the step-by-step process of reconstructing the visual pathways applying dMRI analysis. This includes data acquisition, preprocessing, identification of key structures of the visual system necessary for reconstruction, as well as diffusion modeling and the ultimate reconstruction of neural pathways. As a result, the reader will become familiar both with the ideas and challenges of imaging the visual system using dMRI and their relevance for planning the intervention.
