Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) offers insights into brain white matter abnormalities. This review explores DTI applications in understanding neuropsychiatric disorders using MRI.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neurology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) visualizes and quantifies water diffusion in brain tissue.
  • DTI is crucial for detecting white matter abnormalities, offering advanced insights beyond conventional MRI.
  • Understanding water diffusion patterns aids in diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review research on the application of DTI in understanding neuropsychiatric disorders.
  • To provide a historical overview and describe DTI acquisition and analysis methods.
  • To explore the potential future uses of DTI in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed and Medline for English-language studies from January 1996 to March 2002.
