Effect of Increasing Diffusion Gradient Direction Number on Diffusion Tensor Imaging Fiber Tracking in the Human Brain

Diffusion tensor imaging fiber tracking (DTI-FT) is a unique method that measures relative diffusion coefficients along fiber tracts (1, 2) and reveals the orientation and integrity of white matter (WM) tracts in vivo (3-6).
