Diffusion-Weighted Genitourinary Imaging

open access: yesUrologic Clinics of North America, 2017
This review article aims to provide an overview on of diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DW-MR imaging) in the urogenital tract. Compared with conventional cross-sectional imaging methods, the additional value of DW-MR imaging in the detection and further characterization of benign and malignant lesions of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and pelvic lymph ...

Comparison of apparent diffusion coefficient in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and morphological assessment of breast tumors

open access: yesPolish Journal of Pathology, 2017
The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the apparent diffusion coefficient in diffusion-weighted magnetic (DWM) resonance imaging (MRI) and selected morphological parameters of the breast lesions.

Diffusion Weighted Imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) enables the MRI visualization of molecular movements of water in biological tissues. Molecular diffusion in vivo reflects interactions with macromolecules, fibres and membranes. Water molecule diffusion patterns can therefore reveal microscopic details about tissue architecture that cannot be appreciated otherwise.

Advances in Diffusion-Weighted Imaging [PDF]

open access: yesRadiologic Clinics of North America, 2015
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has become a routine component of clinical MR imaging. Its unique soft tissue contrast mechanism exploits differences in the motion of water molecules in vivo at a biologically meaningful scale. The clinical potential of DWI in lesion detection, characterization, and response assessment has been explored.

Finsler geometry on higher order tensor fields and applications to high angular resolution diffusion imaging. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study 3D-multidirectional images, using Finsler geometry. The application considered here is in medical image analysis, specifically in High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI) (Tuch et al. in Magn. Reson. Med.

Diffusion-weighted imaging in epilepsy

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance Imaging, 1995
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that can be used to probe the microenvironment of water. Contrast in DWI depends on properties different from traditional T1 and T2 contrast, and is derived form the translational motion of water molecules.

A method for improving the performance of gradient systems for diffusion-weighted MRI [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The MR signal is sensitive to diffusion. This effect can be increased by the use of large, balanced bipolar gradients. The gradient systems of MR scanners are calibrated at installation and during regular servicing visits.

Distortion in Diffusion Weighted Imaging

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Radiological Technology, 2009
The definitional equation of the distortion of echo planar imaging(EPI)was examined. We compared measured values with calculated values by using the definitional equation of the chemical shift of the EPI method that first composed the diffusion-weighted image, and examined the possibility of applying it to the distortion.

Hemostasis radiotherapy for gastric cancer: Usefulness of the gastric cancer to spleen apparent diffusion coefficient ratio

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports, 2022
The hemostatic effect of radiation therapy on gastric cancer with bleeding is known. However, blood tests and endoscopes are mainly used to determine the therapeutic effect.

Boosting BOLD fMRI by K-Space density weighted echo planar imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become a powerful and influential method to non-invasively study neuronal brain activity. For this purpose, the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) effect is most widely used. T2* weighted echo planar
