Diffusion Spectrum Imaging
Diffusion Spectrum Imaging (DSI) is an MRI-based technique used to study the structure of white matter brain pathways. It can provide information about the orientation of myelinated axons, which help to connect different brain regions. DSI is more sensitive than other MRI techniques in detecting subtle changes in white matter integrity, which can be used in the diagnosis of various neurological disorders such as stroke, brain trauma, multiple sclerosis, and dementia. DSI can also be used to assess the effects of medical treatments, the safety of medical devices, and the development of new drugs. In addition, DSI can help advance our understanding of how the brain works and may help to develop new methods of treatment for brain-related diseases.
