Tract-Based Automated Analysis (TBAA) in Diffusion Tensor Imaging allows for the study of microstructural properties along the tracts in white matter. Diffusivity measures extracted from TBAA for various tracts of the brain were correlated to Tinetti Balance Scale scores in Parkinson's Disease and Postural Gait Instability Disorder patients, allowing identification of tracts of interest in the pathological study of the diseases.
