DIFFUSION TENSORIMAGING (DTI)• MRI can detect the random (thermal)motion of water molecules in the directionof an applied gradient= diffusion• diffusion in white matter is anisotropic iedirectionally dependent• the direction of maximal diffusivitycorresponds with white matter tractorientation
• The degree of anisotropy and local fibreorientation can be mapped voxel by voxel• fractional anisotropy (FA) ranges from 0(isotropic) to 1 (maximal anisotropy)• the direction of maximal diffusivity can bemapped, with colour brightness modulatedby the FA
