summary: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively new MRI technique based on the diffusion of water molecules through brain tissue. In adults with MS, this has been proven to be useful in detecting abnormalities in the white matter pathways of the brain. In this study the authors found that DTI can be also useful in detecting such abnormalities in children with MS.
