Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging‑based neuroimaging technique that makes it possible to estimate the location, orientation, and anisotropy of the white matter tracts of the brain.

In Generation R, the DTI scan at measurement wave 7 years (children) and at measurement wave 17-18 years (parents) was only performed in a subgroup.
