Journal ArticleDOI
MR diffusion tensor spectroscopy and imaging.
TL;DR: Once Deff is estimated from a series of NMR pulsed-gradient, spin-echo experiments, a tissue's three orthotropic axes can be determined and the effective diffusivities along these orthotropic directions are the eigenvalues of Deff.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural and physiological features of tissues elucidated by quantitative-diffusion-tensor MRI
Peter J. Basser,Carlo Pierpaoli +1 more
TL;DR: Quantitative-diffusion-tensor MRI consists of deriving and displaying parameters that resemble histological or physiological stains, i.e., that characterize intrinsic features of tissue microstructure and microdynamics that are objective, and insensitive to the choice of laboratory coordinate system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the Effective Self-Diffusion Tensor from the NMR Spin Echo
TL;DR: The diagonal and off-diagonal elements of the effective self-diffusion tensor, Deff, are related to the echo intensity in an NMR spin-echo experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo fiber tractography using DT-MRI data
TL;DR: Fiber tract trajectories in coherently organized brain white matter pathways were computed from in vivo diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT‐MRI) data, and the method holds promise for elucidating architectural features in other fibrous tissues and ordered media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a quantitative assessment of diffusion anisotropy
Carlo Pierpaoli,Peter J. Basser +1 more
TL;DR: New indices calculated from the entire diffusion tensor are rotationally invariant (RI) and show that anisotropy is highly variable in different white matter regions depending on the degree of coherence of fiber tract directions.
