Diffusion-tensor-imaging

Diffusion-tensor-imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique used to study the microscopic structure of the brain. DTI measures the diffusion of water molecules in the brain, which provides information about the structural integrity of the nerve fibers. It is especially useful for imaging the white matter tracts within the brain that control communication between different brain regions and provide information about the brain's structural pathways. DTI provides insight into the anatomical structure of the brain and can be used to diagnose a wide range of neurological disorders, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and multiple sclerosis. With its enhanced resolution and ability to measure the integrity of the pathways within the brain, DTI has become an essential tool in the field of neuroimaging.
