Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provides image contrast that is
different from that provided by conventional MR techniques. It is particularly sensitive for …

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 …

PURPOSE: To assess intrinsic properties of water diffusion in normal human brain by using
quantitative parameters derived from the diffusion tensor, D, which are insensitive to patient …

Indices of diffusion anisotropy calculated from diffusion coefficients acquired in two or three
perpendicular directions are rotationally variant. In living monkey brain, these indices …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of diffusion‐weighted magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) with echo‐planar imaging (EPI) technique in depicting the tumor …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) have been used to
study various diseases, particularly since echo-planar techniques shorten examination time …

In this work we demonstrate that specific MR image contrast can be produced in the water
signal that reflects endogenous cellular protein and peptide content in intracranial rat 9L …

The diffusion tensor is currently the accepted model of diffusion in biological tissues. The
measured diffusion behavior may be more complex when two or more distinct tissues with …

PURPOSE: To determine if water diffusivity within lymphomas and high-grade astrocytomas
correlates with cellularity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Echo-planar diffusion-weighted …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging is a means to
characterize and differentiate morphologic features, including edema, necrosis, and tumor …
