Diffusion MRI/Introductory Reading List

This is a stub, an incomplete article. You can help by expanding it. Once it's up to snuff, you may remove the {{stub}} tag from the top of the article. If you have suggestions for improvement but insufficient knowledge or time to make them yourself, please add them to the discussion page.

This page is intended as a short list of essential references for a total beginner to learn about the world of diffusion MRI. By reading these references (perhaps multiple times, as each reference may fill gaps in your knowledge that were left by a different reference), you should be able to get up to speed in just a few days.

How MRI works

The recommended text for understanding MRI and basic pulse sequences is:

Hobbie, Russell K. "Magnetic Resonance Imaging", ch 17 of Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biology, 3rd ed. Springer-Verlag, 1997. (download PDF or check the library)

If this text is too dense or physics-heavy for you, you might try:

Young, Stuart W. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Basic Principles. Raven Press, 1984. (check the library)
Kaufman, et al. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Medicine. Igaku-Shoin, 1981. (check the library)
