Summary

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) shows potential for Alzheimer's disease biomarkers. Early changes in axial/mean diffusivity are state-specific, while radial diffusivity/fractional anisotropy track disease progression and severity.

Assessment of Diffusion and Perfusion

Understanding and evaluating diffusion and perfusion is critical in assessing a patient's respiratory and circulatory health. These processes play key roles in maintaining the body's internal environment, ensuring that tissues receive adequate oxygen while waste products are efficiently removed.
The Role of Diffusion in Respiration
Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the respiratory system, this principle...
