We give a characterization of trace-preserving and positive linear maps preserving trace distance partially, that is, preservers of trace distance of quantum states or pure states rather than all matrices. Applying such results, we give a characterization of quantum channels leaving Helstrom's measure of distinguishability of quantum states or pure states invariant and show that such quantum channels are fully reversible, which are unitary transformations
