In recent years, diffusion weight magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has become one of the most important MRI imaging modalities. The importance of the DW-MRI grew thanks to the combination of parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) techniques with the echo-planar imaging (EPI), which minimize scan time and lead to reduced distortion, allowing the DW-MRI to become a routine clinical exam. Additionally, this has brought various new parameters that influence image quality and biomarkers used in DW-MRI. This work aims to investigate the effects of these parameters on the estimation quality, by using the Cramér-Rao bound tool, which gives analytical expressions of the lower limit on the estimation error variance of different DW-MRI variables when using the pMRI technique. In particular, these bounds will be used to study and optimize the impact of different factors of generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisition (GRAPPA) technique and system parameters on the estimation quality of the desired clinical metrics. Moreover, the obtained results of this study can be exploited and adapted in all human body DW-MRI clinical routines, further improving disease diagnosis, and tractography studies.

D038524 Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging A diagnostic technique that incorporates the measurement of molecular diffusion (such as water or metabolites) for tissue assessment by MRI. The degree of molecular movement can be measured by changes of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with time, as reflected by tissue microstructure. Diffusion MRI has been used to study BRAIN ISCHEMIA and tumor response to treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Diffusion,Diffusion MRI,Diffusion Weighted MRI,Diffusion MRIs,MRI, Diffusion Weighted
