Abstract
The MR measurement of the effective diffusion tensor of water, D, in tissues is described. The definition and physical interpretation of quantitative MR parameters derived from D, (e.g., Trace(D) and measures of diffusion anisotropy) are presented. An overview of DT-MRI data acquisition, experimental design, artifacts and post-processing issues is also provided.
