This research introduces a novel mothed for
high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) that is
capable of achieving submillimeter isotropic resolution
(0.85 x 0.85 x 0.85 mm3) in vivo for the human brain
using a normal 3T clinical scanner. This high-resolution
DTI enables both researchers and physicians to more
accurately identify white matter structures and fiber
tracts in vivo. To demonstrate its utility and
potential, we identified structures at this
submillimeter isotropic resolution that are
indiscernible at conventional resolutions.
