Methods are presented to map complex fiber architectures in tissues by imaging the 3D
spectra of tissue water diffusion with MR. First, theoretical considerations show why and …

The complex structural organization of the white matter of the brain can be depicted in vivo
in great detail with advanced diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging schemes …

Magnetic resonance diffusion imaging provides an exquisitely sensitive probe of tissue
microstructure. Owing to the microscopic length scale of diffusion in biological tissues …

The use of MR imaging to image anisotropically restricted diffusion (ARD) of water in the
nervous system is described. The theoretical basis for the use of the pulsed gradient spin …

Over the past two decades, diffusion MRI has become an essential tool in neuroimaging
investigations. This is due to its sensitivity to the motion of water molecules as they diffuse …

The diffusion of water molecules inside organic tissues is often anisotropic (1). Namely, if
there are aligned structures in the tissue, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water …

This paper describes a new NMR imaging modality--MR diffusion tensor imaging. It consists
of estimating an effective diffusion tensor, Deff, within a voxel, and then displaying useful …

This article introduces a new and general framework for optimizing the experiment design
for diffusion MRI of samples with unknown orientation. An illustration then uses the …

Diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the only technique that
permits a non-invasive in vivo assessment of water molecular diffusion, which reflects tissue …

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most rapidly evolving techniques
in the MRI field. This method exploits the random diffusional motion of water molecules …
