Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging technique that measures the diffusion of water molecules restricted by cellular structures, providing insights into tissue microarchitecture. In the physeal metaphyseal complex (PMC), columns of cartilage and newly formed bone restrict water diffusion primarily along the longitudinal axis. This study aims to delineate physeal DTI parameters—such as tract volumes—in young children. By establishing early developmental benchmarks, we address a gap in pediatric musculoskeletal DTI literature and assess the potential of DTI in monitoring growth patterns. Read More
