Tract integrity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: 6–month evaluation using MR diffusion tensor imaging

Abstract Background This study was performed to assess changes in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) over time in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods We performed DTI in 23 ALS patients who had two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at 6 month intervals and to correlate result...
