Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging technology, in particular to a magnetic resonance diffusion imaging method. Background technique
[0002] Among the various imaging techniques of magnetic resonance, magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (Diffusion Weighted Imaging, DWI) is a newly developed one, which uses tissue contrast produced by different diffusion coefficients between tissues to perform imaging, which is different from conventional magnetic resonance imaging. Resonance imaging method, which can non-invasively examine the tissue structure and functional state of organisms at the molecular level.
[0003] Diffusion is the Brownian motion caused by thermal motion of water molecules inside the tissue, which is arbitrary and irregular. Diffusion is divided into free diffusion and restricted diffusion. The diffusion distance of free diffusion is linearly proportional to the diffusion time; the diffusion distance of restric...
