Since white matter tissue is highly structured, water diffusion is directed mainly along white matter tracts. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows the extraction of fiber tract directions and the visualization of fiber bundles. This can be applied to planning and risk analysis of, e.g., radiotherapy and neurosurgery. Furthermore, diffusion characteristics such as the diffusion anisotropy and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) are indicators for the integrity of white matter tissue. The aim of our project is the development and validation of new methods for the quantitative analysis of brain brain diseases affecting white matter tissue, e.g., Alzheimer, multiple sclerosis and tumor growth.

Quantitative neuroimaging techniques have become emerging technologies within clinical practice. In this project, we focus on clinical applications where quantication methods have received increasing attention, namely in the area of brain atrophy, lesion load computation, and quantication of diusion processes. We examine the reliability and reproducibility of such methods by the help of software and hardware phantoms.
