Microstructure with Magnetic Resonance

Measuring diffusion using Magnetic Resonance (MR) is the prime modality of accessing the micrometer-level structure of biological tissues that fall below the nominal spatial resolution of NMR and MRI. The interest in this field has grown exponentially, and is viewed as the principal instrument for a non-invasive investigation of the cellular structure of living tissues. Microstructure and Diffusion: Problems and Solutions provides a thorough foundation for understanding the physics behind diffusion measurements using magnetic resonance. It is built around a set of problems with detailed solutions, providing real insight and practical value. Each chapter presents a short and clear explanation of the theory before focusing on a problem that leads to a particular physical insight, drawing on simple physical analogies and dimensional analysis, which helps to reproduce the essence of the results obtained in classical and recent studies. Brings together and makes accessible the different methods on diffusion magnetic resonance (dMR) and tissue microstructure mappingUses a unique a problem/solution structure to provide insight into tissue microstructure mapping using diffusion MRIClass tested through numerous conference tutorials
