Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a new method for imaging peripheral nerves that helps visualize their microstructure and connectivity, enhancing traditional MRI techniques.
DTI can create 3D representations of nerve pathways and quantitatively assess nerve health, offering valuable insights for diagnosing nerve issues.
Despite its potential, DTI faces technical challenges related to imaging small-diameter nerves, but ongoing improvements aim to increase its usage in peripheral nerve assessments.
