DTI has been commonly used to study multiple sclerosis (MS) patients^1-3 and many studies have correlate DTI parameters with neurocognitive functions. However, only a handful of studies^{4, 5} have characterized such relationships in pediatric MS patients. The goal of this study was to investigate DTI characteristics in pediatric onset MS patients and to correlate them with neurocognitive functions (intelligence and visuospatial memory).
