Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique used to measure and analyze the diffusion of water molecules in tissues of the human body. DTI creates a three-dimensional map of the diffusion of water molecules, which can be used to observe how it changes in relation to anatomical structures and physiological conditions. DTI has a wide range of clinical applications, such as visualizing the structure of the brain and spinal cord, determining the causes of neurological diseases, detecting the presence of tumors, and assessing the effects of traumatic brain injuries. It can also be used to identify differences in tissue composition between healthy and diseased tissues, thus providing invaluable diagnostic insights.
