We investigated diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of the optic radiation by region of interest (ROI) analysis of readout segmented DTI (RS-DTI) with healthy volunteers. In ROI analysis we observed significant differences of radial diffusivity (RD), fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) between the external sagittal stratum and the internal sagittal stratum. We suppose these differences may reflect the disparities of myelination rather than that of axonal density.
