Abstract
This article gives an overview of the many different technical aspects of diffusion-weighted imaging and a review of the physical and mathematical background. Specific terms, such as free and restricted diffusion are introduced and elucidated. The measurement of diffusion by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and which phenomena can occur are described. Finally, an overview of current developments in diffusion imaging and its application in research is presented.Mesh:
