Diffusion MRI at 25: exploring brain tissue structure and function

D Le Bihan, H Johansen-Berg - Neuroimage, 2012 - Elsevier
Diffusion MRI (or dMRI) came into existence in the mid-1980s. During the last 25years,
diffusion MRI has been extraordinarily successful (with more than 300,000 entries on …

Diffusion tensor MR imaging and fiber tractography: theoretic underpinnings

P Mukherjee, JI Berman, SW Chung… - American journal …, 2008 - Am Soc Neuroradiology
