The treatment of hemorrhagic lesion with neuronal stem cell procedure was studied by diffusion tensor imaging in a monkey model using a clinical 3T MRI system. The longitudinal changes of the fractional anisotropy indicate that the procedure at the dosage of 0.5-2.5 million cells is very effective and DTI is a useful tool to monitor the time course of the neuronal repair and fiber track regeneration process.
