Extension Description

SUMMARY .

Modules

• Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS): DTI-ALPS Module

Use Cases

• Use Case 1: Obtain the DTI-ALPS index calculation from standard DTI image and propers anatomical labels (see details at <ref>Taoka 2017 paper<\ref>)
  • The DTI-ALPS index is a scalar value that represents the activity of the glymphatic system, which may be evaluated with diffusion images. Lower diffusivity along the perivascular space on DTI-APLS seems to reflect impairment of the glymphatic system.
