Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that can be used to probe the microenvironment of water. Contrast in DWI depends on properties different from traditional T1 and T2 contrast, and is derived form the translational motion of water molecule

## Abstract Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive neurodegenerative disorder that results from an expanded trinucleotide (CAG) repeat on the __huntingtin__ gene. Neurodegeneration in HD affects most prominently the basal ganglia. Therefore, diffusivity was obtained in the b
## Abstract ## Background: Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is the commonest form of autosomal recessive ataxia. This study aimed to define the extent of the brain damage in FRDA patients and to identify in vivo markers of neurodegeneration, using diffusionβweighted imaging (DWI). ## Methods: We studied
## Abstract ## Purpose To assess whether hepatic fibrosis is associated with a restriction in the diffusion of water that can be analyzed with diffusionβweighted MR imaging (DWI) of the liver. ## Materials and Methods DWI was performed in 10 normal rats and 15 rats with liver fibrosis. Echoβplan
