Radiological–pathological correlation of diffusion tensor and magnetization transfer imaging in a closed head traumatic brain injury model

Abstract

Metrics of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) can detect diffuse axonal injury in traumatic brain injury (TBI). The relationship between the changes in these imaging measures and the underlying pathologies is still relatively unknown. This study investigated the radiological–pathological correlation between these imaging techniques and immunohistochemistry using a closed head rat model of TBI.
