Abstract
This review covers the fundamentals of diffusion tensor imaging. It is written with the clinician in mind and assumes the reader has a passing familiarity with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Topics covered include comparison of diffusion MRI with conventional MRI, water apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), diffusion anisotropy, tract tracing, and changes of water apparent diffusion in response to injury. The discussion centers primarily on applications to the central nervous system, but examples from other tissues are included. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2007. Β© 2007 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract The success of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is deeply rooted in the powerful concept that during their random, diffusionβdriven displacements molecules probe tissue structure at a microscopic scale well beyond the usual image resolution. As diffusion is truly a threeβdimen
The past decade has seen an intense focus on the evaluation of American women for the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. A concomitant increase in lawsuits filed for delay in diagnosis of breast cancer has occurred, creating consternation in the medical community. Efforts in responding to thi
