Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a variation of
diffusion-weighed imaging. Particularly in the neurosciences, this
technique has gained tremendous momentum in the past decade, both
from a technical point of view as well as in its applications. DTI
is mainly used in neurological diagnosis and psychiatric and
neurologic research, e.g. in order to locate brain tumors and
depict their invasivity.
DTI offers a unique in-vivo insight into the three-dimensional
structure of the human central nervous system. While easy
interpretation and evaluation is often hampered by the complexity
of both the technique and neuroanatomy, this atlas helps you
recognize every one of the important structures rapidly and
unambiguously.
In the introduction, this atlas provides a concise outline of
the evolution of diffusion imaging and describes its potential
applications. In the core part of the atlas, the neuroanatomically
important structures are clearly labeled both on DTI-derived color
maps and conventional MRI. Complex fiber architecture is
illustrated schematically and described concisely in textboxes
directly on the relevant page. In the final part of the atlas, a
straightforward, step-by-step approach for the three-dimensional
reconstruction of the most prominent fiber structures is given, and
potential pitfalls are indicated.
The atlas aims at neuroscientists, neuoanatomists, neurologists,
psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, physicists, and computer
scientists. For advanced users, the atlas may serve as a reference
work, while students and scientists are thoroughly introduced in
DTI.
