Abstract :
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a fast evolving MRI technique that can be used to visualize the white-matter fiber tracts in vivo. Recent technological developments have resulted in a broad range of DTI clinical applications. This presentation briefly reviews the essential principles of DTI, discusses some recent technical developments, and describes several selected clinical applications.
