Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging/Evidence
Method evidence record

Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging

Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) is an advanced diffusion MRI technique that quantifies non-Gaussian diffusion of water molecules, providing detailed information about tissue microstructure beyond conventional diffusion tensor imaging. Introduced by Jensen and colleagues in 2005, DKI detects deviations from normal Gaussian diffusion, revealing information about cellular compartmentalization and fiber heterogeneity.
