Diffusion Tensor Imaging Unboxing
Diffusion Tensor Imaging Unboxing
A quick guide for beginner researchers
About the Book
This guide is designed for researchers who still do not have or have little contact with the diffusion weighted imaging modality (DTI) in MRI. After a few decades of research and development, is now known that the DTI images are extremely powerful for several uses in clinical routine. However, along with these advances of this imaging modality, there are several computational tools for image reconstruction and its visualization. Do not be concerned about what is the first step to understand the DTI imaging modality, because this guide have the intention to summarize the main tools and a brief discussion of what is important to DTI image for modern medicine.
