Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tractography is a method that can be used for the in vivo quantification of tissue microstructural integrity and the virtual reconstruction of white matter pathways[3]. The diffusion-weighted MRI pulse sequences are sensitive to the displacement of water molecules within biological tissues [2]. Generally the displacement of water molecules follows Einstein’s equation, where the mean squared displacement r 2 is directly proportional to the observation time (t) according to:

⟨r2⟩=6Dt.
