Diffusion-weighted' MRI in the normal human brain and in a patient with a cerebral metastasis is demonstrated. The method employed was a modified CE-FAST sequence with imaging times of only 6-10 s using a conventional 1 S-T whole-body MRI system (Siemens Magnetom). As with previous phantom and anima

This paper describes a new MR imaging technique termed Modified Stejskal Tanner versus Flow Compensation (MST/FC) for the separation of diffusion and microcirculatory flow. The theory behind the sequence is explained, along with a five-component model of microcirculation applicable to any "perfusion
## Abstract ## Purpose: To provide a quantitative assessment of motion and distortion correction of diffusion‐weighted images (DWIs) of the breast and to evaluate the effects of registration on the mean apparent diffusion coefficient (mADC). ## Materials and Methods: Eight datasets from four pat
## Abstract ## Purpose: To characterize the DDIF (Decay due to Diffusion in the Internal Field) method using intact animal trabecular bone specimens of varying trabecular structure and porosity, under ex vivo conditions closely resembling in vivo physiological conditions. The DDIF method provides
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the diffusion tensor properties of the human optic nerve in vivo using a non‐Carr‐Purcell‐Meiboom‐Gill (CPMG) fast spin echo (FSE) sequence. ## Materials and Methods This non‐CPMG FSE sequence, which is based on a quadratic phase modulation of the refocusing
The strong sensitivity of Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) fast spin-echo (FSE) sequences, such as rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE), to the phase of the prepared transverse magnetization means that artifact-free single-shot diffusion-weighted images can currently only be obtained
