Motivation
• Magnetic resonance imaging provides information about the spatial distribution of water.
• Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) provides information about the motion of water.
• DWIs are sensitive to cellular architecture and tissue integrity.
• DWI can provide quantitative measures that are directly comparable.
• Diffusion imaging can be used to identify specific white matter tracts
• Over 1000 publications combining fMRI and DWI– 120 since I gave this lecture last years ago

Diffusion
• Diffusion refers to the random translational (Brownian) motion of molecules that results from the thermal energy of theses molecules
(for sphere)
Stokes-Einstein
![Page 6: Introduction to Diffusion-weighted Imaging Joelle Sarlls, Ph.D. NIH MRI Research Facility National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke National](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d345503460f94a0a8f9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Gaussian Distribution
1D 2D 3D
• Large number of particles that are free to diffuse have a squared displacement of a Gaussian form
Einstein, A. Ann Physik (1905) 4: 549-590

Diffusion
For H2O at 37o C
D ≈ 3.0x10-3 mm2/sTdif ≈ 30 msr ≈ 25 μm
• If the motion of water is hindered by cell membranes, macromolecules, etc. the displacement will be less and D will appear lower.

Diffusion-Weighted MRI (DWI)• Sensitizes MRI image intensity to small, thermally
induced random motion of water molecules• The motion of water within tissue is extremely
sensitive to the microscopic architecture and integrity of the tissue
For H2O at 37o C
D ≈ 3.0x10-3 mm2/sTdif ≈ 30 msr ≈ 25 μm

Identical anisotropy maintained throughout the entire voxel
Anisotropy a small fraction of the voxel. Not experimentally observed
Complete anisotropy, but variable orientation. Experimentally isotropic.
