Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in APP transgenic mice: a cohort study.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Fast in-vivo high resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the mouse brain has recently been shown to enable cohort studies by the combination of appropriate pulse sequences and cryogenically cooled resonators (CCR). The objective of this study was to apply this...
