Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Mathias Hoehn and Michael E. Moseley, Organizers


Last updated 20 February 2009

Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:

Describe how and why the proton diffusion pathway in tissue is best explained by a tensor;
Explain how the tensor is acquired, measured and mapped;
Describe how various DTI sequence families can be expanded to improve SNR or resolution;
Compare sequences and select the appropriate ones for particular applications;
Discuss advantages and disadvantages of the different methods for mapping eigenvalues;
List and describe three important DTI applications in neuroimaging.
