[PDF][PDF] Correction of eddy currents in EPI-based diffusion tensor imaging

AH Poonawalla, XJ Zhou - Proc Intl Soc Magn Resan Med, 2001 - cds.ismrm.org
Echo-planar imaging (EPI) is commonly used in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and
diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI), primarily because of its speed and motion-insensitivity. In diffusion …

[PDF][PDF] Assessment of tumour cell infiltration along white-matter fiber tracts using diffusion tensor imaging

XJ Zhou, NE Leeds, AH Poonawalla… - Proc Intl Soc Mag Reson …, 2003 - cds.ismrm.org
White-matter fiber tracts (WMFT) serve as a major pathway for malignant tumor cells to
