Diffusion tensor brain imaging in forensic radiology

Conclusion Both longitudinal diffusivity, transverse diffusivity and ADC are reduced PM. The lack of FA changes in white matter PM implies that FA changes in stroke are due to the ischemic cascade rather than direct cell death. Gray matter of the caudate showed an increase in FA similar to what is seen in a number of both degenerative and inflammatory pathologies.
