Diffusion measures within the brain are assumed to be associated with neuronal and glial structure and integrity. In this study, we compare how diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and restriction spectrum imaging (RSI) detect micro-structural changes within brain regions associated with motor function in Parkinson's Disease.
