Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Diffusion Tensor Imaging

The Diffusion Tensor option extends the capabilities of diffusion imaging by applying motion sensing gradients along 6 to 55 directions. Tissue contrast is based on the degress of diffusion isotrophy verses anisotrophy. Automated online processing provides images maps based on T2-weighted combined, ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) and fractional anisotrophy.

Benefits
