## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the sensitivity of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in assessing peripheral nerve regeneration in vivo. We assessed the changes in the DTI parameters and histological analyses after nerve injury to examine degeneration and regeneration in the rat sciatic nerves. #

## Abstract A new method for mapping diffusivity profiles in tissue is presented. The Bloch‐Torrey equation is modified to include a diffusion term with an arbitrary rank Cartesian tensor. This equation is solved to give the expression for the generalized Stejskal‐Tanner formula quantifying diffusi
Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a non-invasive in vivo method for characterizing the integrity of anatomical connections and white matter circuitry and provides a quantitative assessment of the brain's white matter microstructure. DTI studies reveal age-related declines in white
## Abstract Directionally‐ordered cellular structures that impede water motion, such as cell membranes and myelin, result in water mobility that is also directionally‐dependent. Diffusion tensor imaging characterizes this directional nature of water motion and thereby provides structural informatio
