## Abstract This study characterizes the diffusion anisotropy of the human kidney using a diffusionβweighted, singleβshot echo planar imaging (EPI) sequence in order to access the full apparent diffusion tensor (ADT) within one breathhold. The fractional anisotropy (FA) of the cortex and the medull

Apparent diffusion tensor (ADT) measurements on the spinal cord using a pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) multi-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence are presented. In a study of 10 healthy volunteers, the obtained rotationally invariant anisotropy information is compared to the results obtained by the
We consider the application of segmentation based on cluster classification techniques to a series of images derived from the diffusion tensor. The extension of a sophisticated cluster simulation tool used for optimizing data acquisition for such segmentation methods to diffusion-based images is des
## Abstract Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed on 15 fresh spontaneously or therapeutically aborted normal fetuses and five term infants at different gestational ages. Regional cortical fractional anisotropy (FA) values were observed to increase with gestational age (GA) from 15 to 28 wee
## Abstract The accuracy of single diffusion tensor MRI (DTβMRI) measurements depends upon the encoding scheme used. In this study, the diffusion tensor accuracy of several strategies for DTβMRI encoding are compared. The encoding strategies are based upon heuristic, numerically optimized, and regu
