Abstract
DTI uses the physical principles of random displacement of water molecules, also known as Brownian motion, to measure the degree and directionality of water molecule motion in the human body.[1][1] These measurements can be used to infer the microstructural integrity of the underlying tissue.

In the article by Berndt et al,[12] the authors aim to answer this question by addressing the role of DTI in predicting the 3-month functional outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large-vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who underwent mechanical thrombectomy
The fractional anisotropy (FA) index was calculated for the posterior limb of the internal capsule (PLIC) and cerebral peduncle of the infarcted brain compared with healthy, nonaffected corticospinal tract (CST)
Summary
DTI uses the physical principles of random displacement of water molecules, known as Brownian motion, to measure the degree and directionality of water molecule motion in the human body.[1]. In the article by Berndt et al,[12] the authors aim to answer this question by addressing the role of DTI in predicting the 3-month functional outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large-vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who underwent mechanical thrombectomy. The study sample included 165 patients who had DTI sequences acquired within 7 days of stroke (median, 3 days).
