Synopsis

BSD DTI is a method to reduce systematic errors observed in standard Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) of anisotropic tissues. In the work the effect of systematic errors reduction was shown based on DTI of the brain. Diffusion tensor parameters and tractography were compared between standard DTI (STD) and after the application of BSD DTI method in 11 ROIs chosen in axial and sagittal image planes. Depending on ROI eigenvalues and FA were under- or overestimated in STD, which was corrected by BSD DTI. Reduction of systematic errors leads to decreased standard deviation and improved diffusion tensor tractography.
