The purpose of this paper is to review the basic principles of diffusion measurement with spin echoes. These principles can be combined with those of MR imaging to generate maps of diffusion coefficients. Diffusion imaging can be extended to imaging of other intravoxel incoherent motions (IVIM), such as blood microcirculation. Some of the technical problems encountered when implementing IVIM imaging are presented. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.
