Characteristics of Diffusional Kurtosis in Chronic Ischemia of Adult Moyamoya Disease: Comparing Diffusional Kurtosis and Diffusion Tensor Imaging

摘要

Detecting microstructural changes due to chronic ischemia potentially enables early identification of patients at risk of cognitive impairment. In this study, diffusional kurtosis imaging and diffusion tensor imaging were used to investigate whether the former provides additional information regarding microstructural changes in the gray and white matter of adult patients with Moyamoya disease.
