[HTML][HTML] Diffusion tensor imaging of the brain

AL Alexander, JE Lee, M Lazar, AS Field - Neurotherapeutics, 2007 - Elsevier
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising method for characterizing microstructural
changes or differences with neuropathology and treatment. The diffusion tensor may be
used to characterize the magnitude, the degree of anisotropy, and the orientation of
directional diffusion. This review addresses the biological mechanisms, acquisition, and
analysis of DTI measurements. The relationships between DTI measures and white matter
pathologic features (eg, ischemia, myelination, axonal damage, inflammation, and edema) …
