##' Diffusion Tensor Imaging: tract profiles and outcomes
##'
##' Fractional anisotropy (FA) tract profiles for the corpus callosum (cca) and
##' the right corticospinal tract (rcst). Accompanying the tract profiles are
##' the subject ID numbers, visit number, total number of scans, multiple
##' sclerosis case status and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (pasat)
##' score.
##'
##' If you use this data as an example in written work, please include the
##' following acknowledgment: ``The MRI/DTI data were collected at Johns
##' Hopkins University and the Kennedy-Krieger Institute"
##'
##' DTI2 uses mean diffusivity of the the corpus callosum rather than FA, and
##' parallel diffusivity of the rcst rather than FA. Please see the
##' documentation for DTI2.
