Background- Small capsular strokes are difficult to assess with regard to the precise location and the extent of pyramidal tract damage with conventional brain imaging. Color-coded diffusion tensor imaging (CDTI) provides a means to visualize the course of the corticospinal tract within the white matter. In addition to T2-weighted MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI and CDTI were used to analyze the topographical patterns of small lacunar corticospinal tract strokes.
