A reliable neuroimaging biomarker to predict language improvement after neuromodulation in post‐stroke aphasia is lacking. It is hypothesized that aphasic patients with stroke injuries in the left primary language circuits but with sufficient right arcuate fasciculus (AF) integrity might respond to low‐frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF‐rTMS), leading to language improvement. This study aimed to assess the microstructural indices of the right AF before LF‐rTMS treatment and further correlate with language improvement after the treatment.
