Quantification of non‐Gaussianity for water diffusion in brain by means of diffusional kurtosis
imaging (DKI) is reviewed. Diffusional non‐Gaussianity is a consequence of tissue structure …

A magnetic resonance imaging method is presented for quantifying the degree to which water
diffusion in biologic tissues is non‐Gaussian. Since tissue structure is responsible for the …

This article presents two related advancements to the diffusional kurtosis imaging estimation
framework to increase its robustness to noise, motion, and imaging artifacts. The first …

Diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) is a clinically feasible extension of diffusion tensor
imaging that probes restricted water diffusion in biological tissues using magnetic resonance …

Conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures water diffusion parameters based on
the assumption that the spin displacement distribution is a Gaussian function. However, …

Multisite exchange models have been applied frequently to quantify measurements of
transverse relaxation and diffusion in living tissues. Although the simplicity of such models is …

In this paper a new method is presented for the relative assessment of brain iron concentrations
based on the evaluation of T 2 and T 2 * ‐weighted images. A multiecho sequence is …

Measuring molecular diffusion is widely used for characterizing materials and living organisms
noninvasively. This characterization relies on relations between macroscopic diffusion …

Patient motion can seriously degrade the quality of diffusion-weighted MR images obtained
using standard 2DFT imaging procedures. The main source of error arises from an MR …

Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) can be used to estimate excess kurtosis, which is a dimensionless
measure for the deviation of water diffusion profile from Gaussian distribution. Several …
