Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) specifically measures the integrity of white matter tracts by evaluating water diffusion. White matter loss would likely be identified using DTI. fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is more commonly used to measure differences in brain activity and would be the likely method utilized to identify decreased brain volume. Therefore, option C is the most plausible answer.
