In physiological and pathological conditions in which multiple underlying tissue properties are expected to vary the diffusion weighted signal, the diagnostic value of conventional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) notably decreases. The proposed method extracts four separate distributions, i.e., modes, of diffusion weighted signal, which includes flow and unimpeded, hindered, and restricted diffusion, thereby increasing the precision of quantification of the hindered diffusion in grey and white matters.
