The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is established as the imaging technique that is essential to the imaging of the central nervous system disease. Above all, the diffusion weighted image (DWI) is known as the tool which can diagnose acute ischemic stroke with high accuracy in a short time. DTI, an applied form of DWI, was devised as a technique to image the structure of the brain white matter. In clinical sites, this technique is used for pathologic elucidation such as the intracerebral tissue injury or mental disorder. Additionally, diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), which is a technique to build three-dimensional structure of the neural fiber tracts, is used for grasping the relations between a brain tumor and the fibers tract. Therefore, these techniques may be useful imaging tools in the central nerve region.
