Product Description
The concept of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is often difficult to grasp, even for Magnetic Resonance physicists. Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging uses extensive illustrations (not equations) to help readers to understand how DTI works. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of DTI images, the design of DTI experiments, and the forms of application studies. The theory of DTI is constantly evolving and so there is a need for a textbook that explains how the technique works in a way that is easy to understand - Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging fills this gap.
* Uses extensive illustrations to explain the concept of Diffusion Tensor Imaging
* Easy to understand, even without a background in physics
* Includes sections on image interpretation, experimental design and applications |

Excellent introduction to DTI. 
As a researcher in the neurosciences/radiology, this text served me well as my first introduction to the topic of Diffusion Tensor Imaging. It covers everything from the fundamental basics as to what DTI is exactly to the more nuanced aspects of processing and interpretation. This book is in many ways similar to Mori's seminal review articles on DTI and uses many of the same figures. Nevertheless, here is one unified text on a novel technique in imaging that has already shown great utility and promise for the future. This book is a must for anyone conducting DTI studies to teach others about the basics of DTI or to refer to occasionally for the more fundamental discussion of the technique.

Very basic DTI 
I just took a look at this book at ISMRM in Berlin. It has (a lot of) very nice pictures, and I think it is a good introduction to diffusion TENSOR imaging. I guess for somebody who wants a first, simplified look into diffusion is alright, but not if you are into "real" diffusion.
It explains what diffusion is, how you can measure it with MRI, different pulse sequences, what b-values are, some math about tensors, how to measure the tensor, etc. He also acknowledges that some people look beyond that, with more complicated models which require more complicated analysis schemes.
However, since diffusion in the brain is proven to be non-Gaussian, why bother lerning about diffusion tensor imaging?
