title: An imaging approach to diffuse white matter changes.
abstract: White matter disorders represent a large, heterogeneous group of disorders that span the continuum of congenital metabolic disorders to acquired processes, such as chronic ischemic microvascular white matter disease. Magnetic resonance imaging has dramatically revolutionized the diagnostic evaluation of patients with these disease processes.
