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, ...

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 ...

If bulging or protruding intervertebral discs occupies the intervertebral foramen, and nerve roots are compressed. The cross-sectional area of nerve root fibers is reduced, fiber bundles gathered ...

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 ...

High-resolution MRI reveals that human fetal hearts rapidly develop their major structures within a four-day period. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, ...

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 ...
