OBJECTIVE. In this article, we present the basic principles of diffusion-weighted imaging
(DWI) that can aid radiologists in the qualitative and quantitative interpretation of DW …

In diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), image contrast is determined by the random microscopic
motion of water protons. During the last years, DWI has become an important modality in the …

Background The natural history and pathogenesis of ischemic spinal cord infarction remain
largely unknown because most clinical studies have included mostly patients with ischemic …

Diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) is an established MRI technique that can investigate
tissue microstructure at the scale of a few micrometers. Musculoskeletal tissues typically …

Objective The effects of different therapies on enthesitis/osteitis in active ankylosing
spondylitis (AS) were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim was to …

In diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI), the observed MRI signal intensity
is attenuated by the self-diffusion of water molecules. DWI provides information about the …

Diffusion weighted imaging of non-CNS tissue has attracted much attention during the last
years. Its capability of probing the microstructure of a biologic tissue at a sub-millimeter …

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 …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DWI of the spinal cord is challenging because of its small
size and artifacts associated with the most commonly used clinical imaging method, SS-EPI …

Diffusion tensor MRI (DTI), using single‐shot 2D diffusion weighted‐EPI (2D ss‐DWEPI), is
limited to intracranial (ic) applications far from the sinuses and bony structures, due to the …
