Objective
Going beyond classification of crisp boundaries of lesion hyperintensities on FLAIR, how can DTI be incorporated to investigate diffuse lesions. Determine the requirements for potentially looking at white matter intensity abnormalities that may not manifest themselves as "classic lesions" Set up a framework for testing lower FA and higher MD in lupus versus healthy normal volunteers
Approach, Plan
Map out a strategy and timeline with concrete delivers for use of DTI scalars. Can FA/MD maps contribute favourably to lesion classification?
Set up and run analysis of 42 patients/controls (15 with lesions) to determine if the study replicates lowered FA and highered MD in white matter lesion regions.
