DTI is a Diffusion Tensored Image MRI. It measure the flow of fluid in the brain. Studies show it can indicate damage although it does not show the specific damage. Think of an overflowing sink as evidence of a clog in the drain somewhere. The DTI shows the abnormal flow of water in areas where it would not usually be flowing.
It can be used to confirm an injury but has not been developed as a way to direct treatment.
