Non-Gaussian diffusion imaging: a brief practical review

The departure from purely mono-exponential decay of the signal, as observed from brain tissue following a diffusion-sensitized sequence, has prompted the search for alternative models to characterize these unconventional water diffusion dynamics. Several approaches have been proposed in the last few...

In this brief review, diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) and anomalous diffusion imaging (ADI) techniques are addressed and compared with diffusion tensor imaging.
