Book Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) | Lahalak Medical Platform
An advanced MRI technique that maps white matter tracts by tracking water molecule diffusion. It provides critical insights into brain connectivity, aiding in the diagnosis of neurological disorders and precise surgical planning.
Scientific name: Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) of the Brain
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a specialized MRI technique that visualizes the brain's structural connectivity. It maps water diffusion along nerve fibers to evaluate white matter integrity, neurological diseases, and brain injuries.
