Diffusion-tensor-based method for robust and practical estimation of axial and radial diffusional kurtosis

Objectives A new method that can estimate diffusional kurtosis image (DKI), estimated DKI (eDKI), parallel and perpendicular to neuronal fibres from greatly limited image data was designed to enable quick and practical assessment of DKI in clinics. The purpose of this study was to discuss the potential of this method for clinical use.
