The Role of the Diffusion Tensor Imaging and the MR Tractography in the Evaluation of the Ischemic Cerebral Strokes

Abstract

Cerebral stroke is a worldwide concern, it's classified as the most second cause of death in 2008. In this year 5.7 million deaths and about nine million patients had cerebral strokes events with resultant variable degrees of disabilities. The primary goal in stroke management is to reach an early accurate diagnosis for the patients, which will affect the choice of the treatment lines among the newly developed programs and the end stage recovery. The DTI & DTT are MRI techniques used for the 3D virtual reconstruction of fibers tracts in the white matter.
