The continuous development of neuroimaging technology, methodology and interpretations have transformed and revolutionized neuroscience research progress in clinical and behavioral application. Neuroimaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are widely utilized by radiologists, clinicians, and researchers for medical diagnosis and to explore the anatomy, function, and connectivity of the brain. Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is one of the MRI-based techniques to determine molecular diffusion in biological tissues. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a subtype of dMRI which is extensively used to map the white matter tractography in the brain. The rapid growth of this technique has sparked interest among students, researchers, and radiologists to understand, master, and apply the technique for subsequent use in their respective area of expertise.

​

DTI Workshop 2018 was designed for new and existing DTI users. This workshop included both theoretical and hands-on sessions of data processing. During the hands-on practice, participants learned about DTI analysis using the FDT-FSL software. 

​

Objectives

 

1) Understand the theory and principle of dMRI and DTI.

2) Understand and be able to use the FDT-FSL software for processing and analyzing the DTI data.

3) Be able to interpret the dMRI data sets for future results reporting.
