Abstract
A novel method for improving the accuracy of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is proposed. It takes into account the b matrix spatial variations, which can be easily determined using a simple anisotropic diffusion phantom. In opposite to standard numerical procedure of the b matrix calculation that requires the exact knowledge of amplitudes, shapes and time dependencies of diffusion gradients, the new method, which we call BSD-DTI (B-matrix spatial distribution in DTI), relies on direct measurements of its space-dependent components. The proposed technique was demonstrated on the Bruker Biospec 94/20USR system, using the spin echo diffusion sequence to image an isotropic water phantom and an anisotropic capillary phantom. The accuracy of the diffusion tensor determination was improved by an overall factor of about 8 for the isotropic water phantom. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
