摘要

The diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) method is used to assess the glymphatic system function in subjects for non-invasive purpose. Growing research suggests an association between various diseases and glymphatic system dysfunction. This review focusses on the application of the DTI-ALPS method in various diseases. Furthermore, the relationship among ALPS index, cognitive function and glymphatic system activity is systematically summarized.
