IMAGING METHOD FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE TOMOGRAPHY DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED DATA, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

The invention relates to an LIC-based imaging method for magnetic resonance tomography diffusion-weighted data which are present in a diffusion-weighted data vector field having a three-dimensional voxel grid, each voxel being associated with a diffusion profile having anistropic diffusion direction vectors with directions in which the diffusion-weighted data locally have a respective anisotropic behavior. In order to carry out line integral convolution, a pattern consisting of multidirectional glyphs is used as the input pattern so that the pattern field includes features of the structure of the underlying diffusion-weighted data vector field.
