MeSH Heading: Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Tree Number(s): E01.370.350.825.500.150
Unique ID: D038524
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D038524
Scope Note: A diagnostic technique that incorporates the measurement of molecular diffusion (such as water or metabolites) for tissue assessment by MRI. The degree of molecular movement can be measured by changes of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with time, as reflected by tissue microstructure. Diffusion MRI has been used to study BRAIN ISCHEMIA and tumor response to treatment.
Entry Term(s): Diffusion MRI; Diffusion Weighted MRI; Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Diffusion
