Parsimonious Continuous Time Random Walk Models and Kurtosis for Diffusion in Magnetic Resonance of Biological Tissue [PDF]
In this paper, we provide a context for the modeling approaches that have been developed to describe non-Gaussian diffusion behavior, which is ubiquitous in diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging of water in biological tissue.

Survival Prediction Analysis in Glioblastoma With Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging [PDF]
Simple SummaryGlioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) has characterized non-Gaussian diffusion behaviors in brain normal tissue and gliomas, but there are very limited efforts in ...

Characteristic Mean Kurtosis Values in Simple Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging of Dentigerous Cysts
We evaluated the usefulness of simple diffusion kurtosis (SD) imaging, which was developed to generate diffusion kurtosis images simultaneously with an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map for 27 cystic disease lesions in the head and neck region ...

Glioma-Specific Diffusion Signature in Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging [PDF]
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the relationship between mean kurtosis (MK) and mean diffusivity (MD) values from whole-brain diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parametric maps in preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images from 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System integrated glioma groups.

Toward more robust and reproducible diffusion kurtosis imaging [PDF]
AbstractPurposeThe general utility of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is challenged by its poor robustness to imaging artifacts and thermal noise that often lead to implausible kurtosis values.Theory and MethodsA robust scalar kurtosis index can be estimated from powder‐averaged diffusion‐weighted data.

Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging [PDF]
Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) is an advanced imaging technique that expands the utility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Kurtosis is a measure of skewness of the shape of a probability distribution, which reflects the deviation of a given distribution from the normal Gaussian distribution.
