Diffusion Spectrum Imaging
Diffusion Spectrum Imaging (DSI) is a non-invasive imaging technique for visualizing the structure and organization of neural pathways in the brain. DSI enables the measurement of the direction, magnitude and complexity of water diffusion across the brain's white matter tracts, providing an accurate map of the brain's nerve fiber architecture. DSI can be used to evaluate the integrity of white matter tracts and to identify changes in the brain's neural pathways, which can be affected by various neurological disorders. It is also used to investigate the effects of aging on the brain, as well as to compare normal brain development to abnormal brain development. In addition, DSI can help in presurgical planning to identify the parts of the brain that need to be avoided during surgery, thus minimizing the risk of damage to critical brain structures.
