White matter abnormalities in patients with focal cortical dysplasia revealed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analysis in a voxelwise approach
Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows the analysis of changes in microstructure, through the quantification of the spread and direction of water molecules in tissues. We used FA (fractional anisotropy) maps to compare the integrity of WM between patients and controls. The objective of th...
