Abstract:Abstract-The aim of this work was to find an analytical expression describing the b-matrix spatial distribution (BSD) in diffusion tensor imaging, obtained by means of simple calibration to a water isotropic phantom.The bivariate second degree polynomial function was fitted for the complete set of spatially distributed b-matrix elements derived through measurements on a 3 Tesla clinical scanner.Smooth, noise free b-matrices were obtained with clear patterns of systematic errors. Diffusion tensor eigenvalues we… Show more
