Synopsis

Summary and Target Audience

This presentation will focus primarily on quantitative diffusion imaging and will cover new MRI acquisition methodologies, post-processing, and analysis techniques. Those interested in getting an overview of quantitative diffusion imaging from acquisition at the MR scanner to visualizing and analyzing the data will benefit from this talk.

Specific Topics

Acquisition:

  • Diffusion Tensor Imaging
  • Diffusion Spectrum Imaging
  • Multi-shell Diffusion Imaging / Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging
  • Compressed sensing
  • Multi-slice/multi-band/simultaneous excitation

Post-Processing:

  • Eddy current and B-field correction
  • Motion correction
  • Co-registration
  • Biophysical modeling of diffusion data

Analysis/Visualization:

  • Analysis methodologies including region-of-interest and voxel-based techniques
  • Tractography
