DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging)

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a specialized MRI technique that maps the movement of water molecules in the brain. Since water tends to flow along nerve fibers, DTI reveals the brain’s white matter pathways, helping us understand how different parts are connected. By analyzing this directional movement, DTI provides detailed images of neural networks, which can be useful in diagnosing and studying conditions like multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and neurological diseases. It’s a non-invasive way to visualize and assess the brain’s wiring, improving our understanding of brain structure and function.
