Talk:Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging

Section overlap

The "Diffusion Tensor Imaging" and "Mathematical Foundations - tensors" sections have a lot of overlap. Might be good to merge them. --Aloftus2 (talk) 23:35, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.

PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles)
The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine.
Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging article.

Very heavy on anisotropic models, not very clinically-oriented

This page reads mostly like an ISMRM attendee's thoughts on what matters, where said attendee only cares about connectomes and the Diffusion Study Group's activities. There is zero mention of the use of the simpler ADC metric or of qualititative DWIs for grading of lesions in prostate cancer, e.g., PI-RADS v2.1 or PI-QUAL v2. Diffusion MRI is used below the neck, and this article should reflect that. Attention should also be given to DWI involving only intrinsic contrast, i.e., not using exogenous contrast agents.

Equation of the ellipsoid

I don't see that we ever specify the relationship of the matrix ⁠ ${\bar {D}}$ ⁠ to the equation of the ellipsoid. Especially if it is as simple as ⁠ $v^{T}{\bar {D}}v=1$ ⁠ for vector ⁠ $v=(x,y,z)^{T}$ ⁠ (that is, ⁠ ${\bar {D}}_{xx}x^{2}+2{\bar {D}}_{xy}xy+2{\bar {D}}_{xz}xz+{\bar {D}}_{yy}y^{2}+2{\bar {D}}_{xz}xz+{\bar {D}}_{zz}z^{2}=1$ ⁠) or is ⁠ $v^{T}{\bar {D}}^{-1}v=1$ ⁠, let's add it to the article, either in Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging#Mathematical foundation—tensors or Diffusion-weighted_magnetic resonance imaging#Mathematics of ellipsoids. I'd add it myself, but I don't know which equation it is. — $Q$ uantling (talk | contribs) 19:03, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
