Preferred Label : Heterogeneity Diffusion Imaging;
NCIt synonyms : HDI;
NCIt definition : A diffusion MRI-based imaging method capable of detecting and characterizing heterogeneous
tumor composition and microvascularity simultaneously from a single clinical diffusion
MRI scan. It uses a multiple diffusion compartment model to disentangle the confounding
effects of anatomical complexities and neuropathologies of heterogeneous pathological
components that are mixed in a single imaging voxel. It is primarily used to assess
primary brain neoplasms.;
