ESMMB - Lectures on MR - Diffusion: What it Means and How to Measure it

Course Content
- Diffusion measures and their relation to tissue structure
- Strategies of biophysical modelling in diffusion MR
- Available methods for probing microstrure using diffusion MR
- Methods for measurement of diffusion
- Post-processing

Learning objectives, training objectives
This advanced course is designed to provide a stable basis for those who wish to develop methods of diffusion measurements or to apply them in the biomedical context. A significant part of time will be spent on exercises performed under guidance.

Target Audience
This course is intended for MR physicists, other scientists and PhD students who already have experience in basic MR methods and knowledge of MR excitation and acquisition principles, & who wish to extend their knowledge of diffusion-weighted imaging
