Image contrast using the secondary and tertiary eigenvectors in diffusion tensor imaging.

abstract：:Changes in the exchange rate of water across the blood-brain barrier, denoted k(w), may indicate blood-brain barrier dysfunction before the leakage of large-molecule contrast agents is observable. A previously proposed approach for measuring k(w) is to use diffusion-weighted arterial spin labeling to measure the vascu...
