Diffusion weighted imaging is an increasingly popular
method to detect and characterize dense tissues. The
detection of such tissues is often performed based on
high b-value images, as they show up as bright spots
over a dark background. It has been shown that computed
high b-value images as helpful as measured images. In
particular it is helpful to interactively define the
b-value for the computation. Here a new map is proposed
that enables the interaction by simple windowing and can
achieve an equivalent image impression to the high
b-value images.
