Abstract excerpt
Wilson disease (WD) is a genetic disorder of copper metabolism that leads to progressive brain damage, yet the microstructural mechanisms underlying white matter alterations remain insufficiently understood. Diffusion tensor imaging provides limited biological specificity and is sensitive to free water contamination. Therefore, we applied neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging to characterize white...
