Abstract

Our findings demonstrate that diffusion-weighted MRI may be sensitive to inflammation-induced microstructural changes in the brain. Future studies should integrate complementary techniques and clinical assessments to deepen our understanding of inflammatory pathophysiology and its implications for health outcomes in clinical populations.
