The Background Story

Do you wish to revisit the basic physics of solid-state NMR and diffusion MRI to get a proper background of the methods that Random Walk Imaging has produced?  Then you are in luck, since our Research Partner Prof. Daniel Topgaard just published Multidimensional diffusion MRI in Journal of Magnetic Resonance.


The article aims to pinpoint the origin of the analogy between the two fields and to provide an overview of current diffusion MRI acquisition protocols and methods for data analysis.  There are several properties of tissue microstructure that contribute to the diffusion MRI signal and in conventional diffusion MRI many of these are inseparable.

Read more to find out what is the key to disentangling this (hint – it is all about how to acquire specific data, so that information is separated from the beginning).

Random Walk Imaging AB is developing a novel proprietary approach to diffusion MRI. RWI is commercializing dVIEWR powered by MICE Toolkit™ as a novel software solution for clinical researchers and radiologists to better visualize and analyze diffusion MRI data. The company’s software solutions introduce a level of specificity to diffusion MRI that is unprecedented and that has the potential to non-invasively differentiate pathologies affected by changes in tissue microstructure. Based in Lund, part of the Swedish-Danish cross-border region of Medicon Valley, RWI has a broad intellectual property portfolio and unique translational expertise in advanced diffusion NMR and MRI methods.
