Description
Brain fibres. 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of nerve pathways in the brain. The pathways are highlighted in green and blue. The brain is seen from the front. Diffusion tensor imaging measures the direction of water diffusion, which in the brain reveals the orientation of nerve fibres. The technique is also known as tractography, with the resulting image known as a tractogram.
