In recent years, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) has complemented established imaging techniques for studying the human brain in health and disease. DWI is an MR technique that probes the motion of free water undergoing spontaneous diffusion in the living tissue. Unlike conventional, structural MRI, this method provides insights into the microscopic composition, integrity, and orientation of structures in the human brain (Le Bihan 2003).
