Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is an advanced form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that maps the diffusion of water molecules in biological tissues. Unlike conventional MRI, which provides static images of tissue structure, DTI offers insights into the microscopic movement of water molecules, revealing the micro-architecture of tissues such as white matter in the brain. This ability to visualize the diffusion process has made DTI invaluable in both clinical and research settings.
