Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Preferred Label : Diffusion Tensor Imaging;

NCIt synonyms : DTI;

NCIt related terms : DIFFUSION TENSOR MRI; DT-MRI;

NCIt definition : A type of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) that maps the diffusion of water in three dimensions, the principal purpose of which is to image the white matter of the brain, specifically measuring the anisotropy, location, and orientation of the neural tracts, which can demonstrate microstructural changes or differences with neuropathology and treatment.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: A type of MRI technique that maps the diffusion of water in three dimensions.;
