Areas of abnormal white matter in the brains of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients appear much larger on diffusion tensor MRI than on T2-weighted MRI, a finding which could impact therapy options, ...

What is diffusion tensor imaging? Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique designed to estimate the axonal organization of the brain via ...

A new study finds that operative plans for removing juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma, or JPA, tumors in the thalamus of the brain can be augmented with Diffusion Tensor Imaging, or DTI. The sensitivity ...

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has emerged as a powerful non‐invasive modality for characterising the microstructural organisation of skeletal muscle. By quantifying the directional diffusion of water ...

What is diffusion tensor imaging? Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique designed to estimate the axonal organization of the brain via ...

A team of medical scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics has found structural differences in white matter in the human brain that can be linked to genetic variants that may be ...

Flipping through a pile of brain scans, a neurologist or psychiatrist would be hard pressed to pick out the one that belonged to a schizophrenic. Although schizophrenics suffer from profound mental ...

Lubdha M. Shah, MD is the director of spine imaging. Dr. Shah's clinical and research interests include functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, MR perfusion imaging and MR spectroscopy in brain and ...

For neuroscientists, experimental results converge to help crack the case of how the brain functions. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is ...

Doctors may one day be able to gauge a patient's risk of dementia with an MRI scan, according to a new study. Using a new technique for analyzing MRI data, researchers were able to predict who would ...

A new study led by investigators from Mass General Brigham shows that a brain waste- "clean-up" system is influenced by intracranial pressure. The system, called the glymphatic system, was ...
