Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
A)is like a conventional X-ray but it allows the reconstruction of three-dimensional space from compressed two-dimensional images.
B)is an imaging method used to evaluate the circulatory system in the brain.
C)involves inserting electrodes that produce continuous signals to trigger neural activity in the brain.
D)is performed with an MRI scanner but measures the density and motion of water contained in axons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is performed with an MRI scanner and measures the density and motion of water contained in axons. It is used to visualize and analyze the white matter tracts in the brain by looking at the direction and integrity of water diffusion within them. It is commonly used in neuroscience research and in clinical applications for neurological disorders.
