Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging
Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) is an advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that measures the diffusion of water molecules in tissue, providing detailed information about the tissue’s microstructure. DKI has been used extensively in clinical studies to assess diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and brain tumors, as well as for imaging of white matter, gray matter, and cerebro-vascular changes. DKI can also be used to monitor tissue changes over time, allowing for the detection of early signs of disease. Additionally, DKI can provide a more accurate assessment of the severity of damage in neurological or musculoskeletal conditions. Ultimately, Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging is a powerful, non-invasive tool that offers clinicians and researchers a new way to monitor patients, providing a more complete picture of the status of their health.
