Excerpt

Since 2010, there has been an increase in the application of MRI diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) beyond the brain and spinal cord, particularly following its initial use in the intervertebral disc. More recently, there has been growing interest by pediatric radiologists to use MR-DTI to study the growth plate, a unique anatomic structure found exclusively in the skeletons of growing individuals. …
