The concept of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is often difficult to grasp, even for Magnetic Resonance physicists. Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging uses extensive illustrations (not equations) to help readers to understand how DTI works. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of DTI images, the design of DTI experiments, and the forms of application studies. The theory of DTI is constantly evolving and so there is a need for a textbook that explains how the technique works in a way that is easy to understand - Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging fills this gap.
* Uses extensive illustrations to explain the concept of Diffusion Tensor Imaging* Easy to understand, even without a background in physics* Includes sections on image interpretation, experimental design and applications
The book is targeted toward students (with Biology and Medicine major), researchers (in Radiology, Neurology, Psychology, Psychiatry, Geriatric, Paediatric and Neuroscience), and clinicians with or without a background in physics.
Chapter 1: Basics of diffusion measurement Chapter 2: Anatomy of diffusion measurement Chapter 3: Mathematics of diffusion measurement Chapter 4: Principle of Diffusion tensor imaging Chapter 5: Mathematics of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Chapter 6: Practical aspects of Diffusion Tensor Chapter 7: New image contrasts from Diffusion Chapter 8: Limitations and Improvement of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Chapter 9: Three-dimensional tract reconstruction Chapter 10: Quantification Approaches Chapter 11: Application studies
