The diffusion in voxels with multidirectional fibers can be quite complicated and not necessarily well characterized by the standard diffusion tensor model. High angular resolution diffusion-weighted acquisitions have recently been proposed as a method to investigate such voxels, but the reconstruct

Diffusional anisotropy of water protons, induced by nonrandom, directional barriers which hinder or retard water motion, is measurable by MRI. Faster water diffusion was observed when the diffusion-sensitizing gradient direction paralleled the long axes of white matter tracts, indicative of fewer ba
## Abstract We present a novel interpretation of non‐monoexponential diffusion‐weighted signal decay with __b__‐value in terms of the theory of anomalous diffusion. Anomalous diffusion is the theory of diffusing particles in environments that are not locally homogeneous, such as brain tissue. In su
## Abstract Trabecular bone structure is known to play a crucial role in the overall strength, and thus fracture risk, of such areas of the skeleton as the vertebrae, spine, femur, tibiae, or radius. Several MR methods devoted to probing this structure depend upon the susceptibility difference betw
## Abstract In this work we report on the development of a novel technique for high‐resolution diffusion‐weighted (DW) MRI based upon 3D steady‐state free precession (3D‐SSFP). First the 3D‐SSFP acquisition was segmented (each segment consisting of a series of RF pulses and gradient‐recalled echoes
