ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) represent a complex clinical challenge, necessitating precise diagnostic approaches for optimal management. Traditional diagnostic methods often fall short in accurately assessing nerve recovery as these methods rely on the completion of nerve reinnervation, which can prolong a patient's treatment. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, has emerged as a promising tool in this context. DTI offers unique advantages including the ability to quantify nerve recovery and provide in vivo visualizations of neuronal architecture. Therefore, this review aims to examine and outline DTI techniques and its utility in detecting distal nerve regeneration in both preclinical and clinical settings for peripheral nerve injury.
