DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING

Course overview

DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING IS AN ADVANCED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING MODALITY THAT USES THE BROWNIAN MOTION OF WATER MOLECULES TO PROVIDE DATA FOR IMAGES. DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HELP WITH INCREASED SENSITIVITY OF AND IMPROVING IDENTIFICATION OF PATHOLOGY EARLIER IN ITS PROCESS. THIS ACTIVITY OUTLINES THE CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND ISSUES OF CONCERN WITH A RELATIVELY YOUNG AND DIAGNOSTICALLY POWERFUL SUBMODALITY OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
