About Introduction To Diffusion Tensor Imaging: And
Product Description The concepts behind diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are commonly difficult to grasp, even for magnetic resonance physicists. To make matters worse, a many more complex higher-order methods have been proposed over the last few years to overcome the now well-known deficiencies of DTI. In Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging: And Higher Order Models, these concepts are explained through extensive use of illustrations rather than equations to help readers gain a more intuitive understanding of the inner workings of these techniques. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of DTI images and tractography results, the design of experiments, and the types of application studies that can be undertaken. Diffusion MRI is a very active field of research, and theories and techniques are constantly evolving. To make sense of this constantly shifting landscape, there is a need for a textbook that explains the concepts behind how these techniques work in a way that is easy and intuitive to understand―Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging fills this gap. Review "Mori and Tournier explain a type of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that is based on tensor calculation, called diffusion tensor imaging, which can be used to obtain quantitative parameters to describe diffusion anisotropy and fiber orientation in the brain. Their topics include the anatomy of diffusion measurement, principles of diffusion tensor imaging, the mathematics, practical aspects, new image contrasts, high angular resolution diffusion imaging…"--ProtoView.com, January 2014 Review This fully revised and expanded 2nd Edition remains the only introductory treatment of this critical imaging technique, authored by one of the leaders in the field. From the Back Cover The concept of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is often difficult to grasp, even for Magnetic Resonance physicists.Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging uses extensive illustrations (not equations) to help readers understand how DTI works. Emphasis is place do the interpretation of DTI images, the design of DTI experiments, and the forms of application studies. The theory of DTI is constantly evolving and so there is a need for a volume that explains how the technique works in a way that is easy to understand. This fully revised second edition remains the only practical introduction promoting the understanding of this powerful technology, and once again proves to be an essential tool for designing, analyzing or interpreting experiments.
