Towards in vivo g-ratio mapping using MRI: unifying myelin and diffusion imaging [PDF]
The g-ratio, quantifying the comparative thickness of the myelin sheath encasing an axon, is a geometrical invariant that has high functional relevance because of its importance in determining neuronal conduction velocity.

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Spine
In this study, we evaluated the technical characteristics and usefulness of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for discrimination between benign and malignant vertebral fractures, for detection and differentiation of multiple myeloma or metastases, and for response monitoring in malignant vertebral lesions after anticancer drug therapy or ...

Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging in
Objective: To evaluate role of DWI in assessment of H.C.C. after TACE. Patients and methods: Twenty patients with H.C.C., mainly in sixth and seventh decades underwent TACE therapy. The baseline hepatic MRI before chemoembolization used 1.5-T closed magnet and then follow-up 3 weeks post-TACE included axial T1, T2 WI, DWI and dynamic contrast study ...

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in ileocolonic Crohn's disease [PDF]
Background: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dw- MRI) utilizes differences in the motion of water molecules between tissues for image formation without administration of contrast materials. Inflammation in the bowel wall slows water transit

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Pancreas
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) assesses the random motion of the water protons. The technique is more frequently used in body imaging, and recent investigations showed its use in pancreatic imaging. Diffusion-weighted imaging can be helpful as a complementary imaging method in the differentiation between mass-forming focal pancreatitis and pancreatic

Cholesteatoma vs granulation tissue: a differential diagnosis by DWI-MRI apparent diffusion coefficient [PDF]
To diagnose cholesteatoma when it is not visible through tympanic perforation, imaging techniques are necessary. Recently, the combination of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging has proven effective to diagnose middle ear cholesteatoma. In
