Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is an MRI technique that takes advantage of the non-random, linear diffusion of water through certain structures in the brain and allows imaging of white matter tract orientation and integrity not visible normally with T1 and T2-weighted MRI sequences. This study was designed to see if higher magnetic strength 3T MRI would have different FA measurements compared to 1.5T MRI in patients affected with multiple sclerosis.
