Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) offers parameter indices, namely, mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA). Leukoaraiosis is a brain white matter hyperintensity as observed on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images. In this study, we attempt to assess leukoaraiosis at its spec...
