This study aimed to use the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and T2 weighted MR imaging to assess the therapeutic effect of endothelia progenitor cell in a mouse model of hind limb ischemia. DTI can be used as a marker in vivo and as a diagnostic tool for assessment of ischemia-induced muscle damage and repair.
