Diffusion tensor imaging
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a form of magnetic resonance imaging. It enables researchers and physicians to visualize how water distributes itself in space over time, allowing them to reconstruct nerve pathways in the brain, for example. Certain changes, such as those caused by a stroke, can be detected more effectively with diffusion tensor imaging than with conventional magnetic resonance imaging.
