Diffusion tensor imaging beyond brains: Applications in abdominal and pelvic organs

Figure 2 Normal images of pancreatic diffusion tensor imaging. Maps were overlaid on the corresponding T2 weighted image. The direction map presents in three colors the direction of the 1^st principal eigenvector; red: Left to right direction; green: Head to feet direction; and blue: Anterior to posterior direction. Vector map presents in white sticks the direction of the 1^st principal eigenvector (Nissan et al[17], 2014; open access from PlosOne, permission confirmed). FA: Fractional anisotropy; ADC: Apparent diffusion coefficient.
