Traditional brain imaging techniques using MRI are very good at visualizing the gross structures of the brain. A structural brain image made with MRI provides high contrast of the borders between gray and...

Diffusion Tensor Imaging?DTI?is a technique within magnetic resonance that relies on the diffusion of water molecules to study the integrity of white matter networks?the axon bundles that connect cortical and subcortical gray matter?in the brain.
These interconnecting structures can be damaged when an external force, such as a soccer ball,...
