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. (check the library; Jadrian also has a photocopy)

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)
