As a new diagnostic tool for cerebral microstructure impairment, Diffusion Kurtosis imaging (DKI) has the ability to assess the white matter impairment of tissues by investigating water diffusion with a non-Gaussian model. Mean kurtosis(MK) is a key parameters of DKI and reveals the white matter damage accurately. This work evaluates the diagnostic utilities of MK in the case of depression and hypertension and specifies the white matter impairment in these patients.
