Abstract:

Diffusion tensor imaging is a magnetic resonance imaging technology, based on the diffusion motion of water molecules, to obtain anisotropy informations of different tissues, which is used for early identification, accurate localization and grading in various fields of peripheral nerve injury, such as peripheral nerve injury repair, micro-lesion recognition and neuro-tumor. However, since diffusion tensor imaging is still at the early stage of clinical research, and the measurements are influenced by various factors such as technical settings and sequence specifications, the standardization of clinical measurement protocols and the quantification of parameters remain to be further studied.

Key words: diffusion tensor imaging, peripheral nerve injury, review
