Diffusion tensor imaging of the auditory pathway in sensorineural hearing loss: Changes in radial diffusivity and diffusion anisotropy

To prospectively compare diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures of axial diffusivity (λ∥), radial diffusivity (λ⟂), mean diffusivity (MD), and fractional anisotropy (FA) along the auditory pathway of patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and normal controls.
