HIGH ANGULAR RESOLUTION DIFFUSION IMAGING OF BRAIN WHITE MATTER AND ITS APPLICATION TO SCHIZOPHRENIA
By sampling the self-diffusion of water molecules, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is able to characterize the microstructure of brain white matter. Previous DTI studies in schizophrenia have reported white matter alterations as measured by changes in fractional anisotropy. However, DTI analysis is n...
