What DTI adds to a brain MRI
This session explains diffusion tensor imaging in plain terms, then walks through how Expert Radiology's Advanced DTI report presents the results.
Real symptoms, normal MRI
Why changes in the brain's white matter can be hard to see on conventional MRI sequences.
What DTI measures
How diffusion tensor imaging follows the movement of water along white matter tracts, and what measures like fractional anisotropy describe.
Reading an Advanced DTI report
How tract-by-tract results are compared with a normative range, and how to read them alongside the rest of the MRI.
What setup looks like at an imaging center
The scanner protocol and workflow steps an imaging center plans for before offering Advanced DTI.
Advanced DTI measures white matter tracts as adjunctive information, read alongside the conventional MRI. Not every study has flagged tracts, and a flag is a measurement to read in context, not a diagnosis.
