Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. The detected signal in MRI is obtained from the protons, most often the hydrogen protons, in the various tissues within the body. These protons create a net magnetization when they are...

Diffusion Weighted Imaging

Diffusion Weighted Imaging The free diffusion of water due to Brownian motion forms the basis for the development of diffusion MRI. In 1965 Stejskal and Tanner published a landmark paper describing an MR spin-echo pulse sequence that allowed the detection of the...
