Abstract
Subject of this work is the relevance of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance techniques in the clinical environment in view of the choice of the measurement and post-processing parameters, if the reconstruction of microstructural details, fiber networks and connectivity is of highest priority. Starting with typical clinical basic conditions, a proposal for the choice and the parameterization of the MR-sequence and the post-processing algorithms are delivered. The success of the presented approach will in principal be tested by suitable simulations and potential clinical applications are presented.
