Abstract

Diffusion of the water molecule in the brain is restricted by the white matter fibers. Tensor analysis of the proper diffusion-weighted data set provides quantitative analysis of the white matter diffusion anisotropy as well as fiber tracking (tractography) of the white matter. Preliminary clinical experience of diffusion tensor tractography was assessed.
