Abstract:
The data in this article described quantitative values of fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for 23 (46 extremities) normal healthy males and females, for 46 patients with bilateral diabetic peripheral neuropathy. 1.5 Tesla (T) MR System Multiva - Philips magnets (Baltimore, Netherland, Holland) imaging with axial T1WSE, sagittal T2WSE and STIR sequences by means of diffusion weighted neurography b values of 0 and 800 s/mm2. The data obtained as FA and ADC values in healthy adults and patient population can be referred by researchers, clinicians for early diagnosis, to determine intervention effectiveness and patient management.
