Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is an advanced MRI technique used to visualize and measure the movement of water molecules in brain tissue. It helps researchers and doctors see how water moves along the brain's nerve fibers, which can indicate the integrity and organization of these pathways. This is particularly useful in understanding brain connectivity, diagnosing conditions like stroke or multiple sclerosis, and studying brain development or injury. By analyzing the direction and extent of water movement, DTI provides valuable insights into the brain's structure and functioning.
