We use diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging to
investigate the effects on fractional anisotropy of
diffusion tensor interpolation methods in the presence
of myocardial infarction. Our results suggest that
precaution should be taken with diffusion tensor
interpolation when using absolute indexes (as the FA
value) to distinguish infarction and remote regions,
since interpolation methods may affect FA values in a
non-negligible manner.
