Diffusion MRI alterations in the elderly are predominantly of vascular origin

August 2020 | Diffusion tensor imaging is widely used to study the brain microstructure, especially in memory clinic patients. The determinants of diffusion alterations are, however, largely unknown. A large-scale study led by ISD investigators addresses this important question by identifying cerebral small vessel disease as the main determinant of diffusion alterations...
