DTI can provide in vivo information about the pathology of optic nerve (ON) disease, but the ability of DTI to evaluate alterations of ON in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has not been explored so far. In this work, we demonstrate that reduced field-of-view DTI is very helpful for the diagnosis of optic neuropathy in patients with RP in vivo, which is very critical to connect radiology and ophthalmology together in RP.
