简要总结
Approval will be obtained from the institutional research committee, SOAHS and Institutional Ethical Committee, Kasturba Medical College. 40 patients will be with the age greater than 18 years will be included in the cross sectional prospective study after screening. Informed consent will be obtained from the patients. The scanning will be performed using Philips Achieva 1.5 Tesla MRI. Diffusion tensor imaging protocol will be used and raw data will be collected. The radiologist will assess the variation in the fractional anisotropy value. The data will be analyzed using SPSS statistical package for social science and descriptive data analysis is done using Independent sample T test or Mann Whitney U test
