DTI Scanning Protocol Introduction
Running a DTI Scan (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) is pretty easy, but there are a few more steps to set it up on the scanner control computer.
Multiple Iterations
You get nicer data if you run more iterations of a DTI scan. The more iterations you can run, the better your data is. A single DTI scan through the whole brain on the 1.5T using the protocol for the FINRA project takes around 10 minutes. Two scans takes 20 minutes, Three scans takes 30 minutes, etc. After you set up the first scan, doing another is easy. Just hit scan again.
