Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is potentially sensitive to collagen degeneration in cartilage. In this study, DTI was measured on human cartilage samples with interventions of trypsin and collagenase. The measured preferred diffusion direction was consistent with the zonal structure of collagen netw

## Purpose: The articular cartilage is a small tissue with a matrix structure of three layers between which the orientation of collagen fiber differs. a diffusion-weighted twice-refocused spin-echo echo-planar imaging (se-epi) sequence was optimized for the articular cartilage, and the structure of
## Abstract This study tested the hypothesis that diffusion tensor imaging can detect alteration in microscopic integrity of white matter and basal ganglia regions known to be involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology. It was also hypothesized that there is an association between diffusion abn
