Detailed measurement and analysis of two important processes in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are described. The processes of interest are the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) behavior of water protons in the brain and the transverse relaxation (T2) behavior of water protons in muscle. The me

Diffusion measurements were performed on the N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) signal in in situ brains (in vivo and post-mortem) and on in vitro brain tissue at 37 ยฐC using wide ranges of b-values (from 0 up to 4.5 ร 10 6 s/cm 2 and 35.8 ร 10 6 s/cm 2 for the in vivo and the in vitro cases, respectively). I
The in situ assessment of axonal projections of the brain has been severely limited by the lack of noninvasive techniques to study this type of anatomy. We show here that in vivo threedimensional (3D) reconstruction of axonal projections can be achieved using a rapid 3D high-resolution diffusion-wei
