Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging
(NODDI) is a recently developed technique to evaluate
the restricted diffusion. This study was to evaluate
diffusional changes of cortico-spinal tract (CST) in
patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
(iNPH) by NODDI. NODDI produces maps of intra-cellular
volume fraction (ICVF), orientation dispersion index
(ODI) and isotropic volume fraction (iso VF). In the
iNPH patients, ODI of CST significantly decreased.
Decreased ODI suggested that axon was compressed and
oriented. NODDI could show the microstructural changes
on CSTs in the iNPH patients.
