Abstract: To compare diffusion parameters obtained from mono-exponential, bi-exponential, and stretched-exponential diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in stratifying non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were fed a high-fat/cholesterol or standard diet to obtain different stages… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-06246-4
Abstract: Diffusion-weighted imaging quantified using the mono-exponential model has shown great promise for monitoring treatment response in prostate cancer bone metastases. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate whether non-mono-exponential diffusion models better describe… read more here.

DOI: 10.21037/qims-19-985a
Abstract: Background Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can noninvasively assess renal allograft pathologic changes that provide useful information for clinical management and prognostication. However, it is still unknown whether the bi-exponential model analysis of DWI signals is superior… read more here.
