	abstract = {Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is often used to study brain maturation processes and white matter (WM) injuries in premature newborns. However, DTI assumes that water diffusion in biological tissues is free. In reality, there is always structural hindrance in WM, which only increases with age due to myelination. Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) relaxes the assumption of free diffusion and allows estimation of conventional diffusion parameters plus new kurtosis measures, which are related to tissue complexity. In this work, we present and discuss the first statistics of DKI parameters in WM of two prematurely born infants.},

	year = {2011},
	month = {December},
	abstract = {In this work, the performance of FMRIB{\textquoteright}s Linear Registration Tool (FLIRT) is evaluated with respect to motion and distortion correction of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) data. FLIRT is tested on two DKI datasets heavily distorted by motion and eddy currents artefacts. Six different criteria are used for evaluation. Our results show that distortion correction using FLIRT substantially improves the original data. However, being an affine registration tool, FLIRT cannot cope with the amount of non-linear distortion present in DKI datasets. Hence, we conclude that, for correction of DKI data, non-linear registration techniques are more suitable.},
