BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent findings suggest that diffusion-weighted imaging
might be an important adjunct to the diagnostic workup of disease processes in the spine …

During the past few years, diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging of the spine has received
considerable attention in the imaging literature, although its usefulness and efficacy remain …

During the last decade, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has matured from an experimental
tool to a clinically useful modality that has not only significantly impacted the diagnosis of …

The imaging assessment of the diffusion characteristics of water molecules on an
intracellular and extracellular space level can herald powerful information about normal and …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the lumbar spine could improve diagnostic specificity. The
purpose of this work was to determine the feasibility of and to validate DTI with single-shot …

OBJECTIVE. Acute vertebral collapse is common, and it is sometimes difficult to determine
whether the cause is benign or malignant. Recently, diffusion-weighted imaging has been …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Conventional imaging techniques cannot be used to
unambiguously and reliably differentiate malignant from benign vertebral compression …

Introduction Diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) of the spine requires robust imaging
methods, that are insensitive to susceptibility effects caused by the transition from bone to …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted imaging is a robust technique for
evaluation of a variety of neurologic diseases affecting the brain, and might also have …

Diffusion‐weighted MRI (DWI) of the vertebral bone marrow is a clinically important tool for
the characterization of bone‐marrow pathologies and, in particular, for the differentiation of …
