On the one hand, the result is a ...
Diffusion kurtosis imaging University of Antwerp
Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is a recent imaging method that probes the diffusion of water molecules. Whereas diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) models the diffusion as a 3D Gaussian function, DKI takes it one step further by additionally quantifying the degree of non-Gaussian diffusion. DKI diffusion parameters have been shown to yield clinically relevant information that is not captured by a more conventional DTI model. Thanks to the increase ...
