| Abstract | Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values derived from diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) provide important information about tissues. The goal of this study was to evaluate the ADC values in the corticospinal tract regions in multiple sclerosis (MS). The ADC values of 42 patients with multiple sclerosis and 46 healthy people were measured. The ADC values in the corticospinal tract at the capsula interna posterior crus from six points and mesencephalon from three points bilaterally in MS patients were compared with those of controls. An ANOVA post hoc test was used to analyse the differences in mean ADC values between the MS and control groups. The mean ADC values of the right (p = 0.008) and left internal capsules (p = 0.000) and right (p = 0.002) and left mesencephalons (p = 0.044) in MS patients were significantly lower than in the control group. There was no significant difference between the right and left side ADC values in MS (p = 0.313 vs. p = 0.223) and control groups (p = 0.756 vs. p = 0.105), respectively. The mean ADC values of the corticospinal tract in MS patients were significantly lower than in the control group. This decreased diffusion may be the result of cellular infiltration due to inflammation, cytotoxic oedema, demyelination or remyelination processes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
