ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the use of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging procedures for the diagnosis of conditions in which blood circulation or similar molecular displacements within biological tissues are measured. Pulse sequences are used in accordance with the invention which suppress the contribution of non-moving tissue or bulk motion.
