Cerebral white fibers: from dissection to MRI tractography
The alteration of the white cerebral fibers could constitute an important biomarker of many pathologies. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is a noninvasive technique that evaluates the pathway (tractography) of white fibers from water diffusion. It uses mathematical models and provides only an indirect evaluation of the fiber path. Despite these uncertainties, however, it is widely used in clinical and research without being indisputably validated in humans [Read more].
