Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Biophysics
  • Medical Physics

Context:

  • Conventional MRI has limitations in visualizing tissue microstructure.
  • Diffusion tensor MR imaging (DTMRI) provides higher resolution imaging.
  • DTMRI quantifies diffusion anisotropy, revealing tissue organization.

Purpose:

  • To review the applications of DTMRI in brain studies.
  • To highlight DTMRI's utility in detecting subtle white matter changes.
  • To cover DTMRI's role in various neurological conditions.

Summary:

  • DTMRI visualizes tissue microstructure and organization beyond conventional MRI limits.
  • It quantifies diffusion anisotropy, enabling detection of subtle white matter alterations.
  • Applications span normal aging, Alzheimer's disease, neuropsychiatric disorders, stroke, MS, tumors, and seizures.
