Diffusion kurtosis imaging has become an important
extension to diffusion tensor imaging in the
quantification of non-Gaussian diffusion by means of
magnetic resonance imaging. However, there is still no
general consensus on the optimal range of b-values for
data analysis. In this work we perform an investigation
on the dependence of the cumulant expansion terms of the
diffusion-weighted MRI signal on the fitting b-value
range. The present analysis gives important insights
into the validity of the fitting b-value range in DKI
analysis.
