Clinical significance of atrophy and white matter mean diffusivity within the thalamus of multiple sclerosis patients.

The article presents a study on the significance of atrophy and white matter mean diffusivity in the thalamus of patients with multiple sclerosis. It provides an analysis on the potential of the nerve tissue's diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics in foretelling cognitive disorder. It also notes that the volumes of the tissue were calculated on three-dimensional (3D) tensor imaging (TI) images along with the measurement of memory through neuropsychological (NP) testing.
