Abstract
A sensitive measure of brain condition simultaneously evaluates multiple measurements of water diffusion in brain tissue combined so as to correct for covariance between the different data types of the multipoint measurements and compares the multipoint measurements to a corresponding multipoint measure representing normal brain tissue to provide a distance indicating a likelihood of atypical brain conditions.
