Diffuusiokuvantamisen
Diffuusiokuvantaminen, often translated as diffusion imaging or diffusion MRI, is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that measures the diffusion of water molecules within biological tissues. This diffusion is not random but is influenced by the microstructure of the tissue, such as cell membranes, myelin sheaths, and tissue barriers. By tracking the random motion of water molecules, diffuusiokuvantaminen provides valuable information about tissue organization and integrity, which is not visible with conventional MRI.
The principle behind diffuusiokuvantaminen relies on the fact that water molecules move more freely in areas
The data acquired from diffusion imaging can be processed to generate various maps. Diffusion tensor imaging
