    摘要: A method for measuring diffusional anisotropy in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The method includes determining an orientation diffusion function (ODF) for one or more fibers within a single voxel, wherein the ODF includes lobes representative of a probability of diffusion in a given direction for the one or more fibers. The method also includes characterizing an aspect ratio of the lobes. The method further includes determining a multi-directional anisotropy metric for the one or more fibers based on the aspect ratio of the lobes.

    摘要: A scan control device located in the bore of an MRI system magnet includes tracking coils and a display. Location and alignment of the scan control device is tracked by the MRI system using signals acquired from the tracking coils. These signals are also used to update the scan parameters such that the scan plane of the image acquired by the MRI system is controlled by the scan control device location and orientation. The image is produced on the display to provide an attending physician with interactive control of the image from the magnet bore.
