"This is a truly comprehensive compilation of the science and
application of these techniques in the study of brain. The book is
organized into 8 sections from the physics and basics to the use of
these approaches in the characterization of neurological and
psychiatric disorders. There are sections on experimental
considerations, analysis including fiber tracking and crossing
fibers. There is also a section entitled 'Diffusion MRI Beyond
White Matter' attesting to the great potential and future
application of diffusion imaging and a final section that outlines
the history of its evolution and personal perspectives of several
pioneers. Although the book has almost 50 chapters between its
covers there is little, if any, redundancy. This book is a tour de
force on the topic of diffusion MRI and a must read for any student
or investigator interested in this exciting and important imaging
field."
--Arthur W. Toga, PhD, Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, UCLA School of
Medicine, Los Angeles, CA
"This remarkable compendium of 47 chapters written by the world
experts provides the most comprehensive and the most detailed
description of this novel and sophisticated method. There is
something of interest for everyone: from theory to hardware; from
physics to biology; from animal to human internal anatomy; from
general medicine to specialized diseases; and, most importantly,
from brain architecture underlying normal behavior to abnormalities
in neurology and psychiatry, which have benefited enormously by the
introduction of this method. It may sound as a cliche that it is a
must, not only for imagers, specialists and researchers, but also
for general practitioners, if they need and want to be
informed."

Neurology, Chairman, Department of Neurobiology, Director, Kavli

Haven, CT and Editor-in-Chief of Cerebral Cortex
