Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). A refinement of magnetic resonance imaging that allows the doctor to measure the flow of water and track the pathways of white matter in the brain. DTI is able to detect abnormalities in the brain that do not show up on standard MRI scans.
This website is about the physics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), of which diffusion tensor imaging â DTI â is just one part. I doubt readers of this site have any medical advice to offer. I can talk about how DTI works (the physics), but not about its clinical utility for any particular patient.
