This second article of the 2-part review builds on the theoretic background provided by the
first article to cover the major technical factors that affect image quality in diffusion imaging …

In this article, the underlying theory of clinical diffusion MR imaging, including diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber tractography, is reviewed. First, a brief explanation of the …

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) is a relatively new technology that is
popular for imaging the white matter of the brain. This article provides a basic and broad …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Precision medicine is an approach to disease diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention that relies on quantitative biomarkers that minimize the variability …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DTI is increasingly being used as a measure to study
tissue damage in several neurologic diseases. Our aim was to investigate the comparability …

Unlike those of the brain, advances in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the human spinal
cord have been challenged by the more complicated and inhomogeneous anatomy of the …

In the brain, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an established and reliable method for the
characterization of neurologic lesions. Although the diagnostic value of DWI in the early …

This book provides an overview of the practical aspects of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI),
from understanding the basis of the technique through selection of the right protocols …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to characterize the diffusion
properties of the entire human spinal cord in vivo. These data are essential for comparisons …

The success of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is deeply rooted in the powerful
concept that during their random, diffusion‐driven displacements molecules probe tissue …
