Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI)
allows for non-invasive measurement of microstructural
features of the human brain. Usually all data processing
in DWI is based on the magnitude of the complex MR
signal, and the inherent phase of the signal is
discarded as it is considered to be spoiled by different
sources. One source for a non-zero phase in DWI signal
is the pulsation of the brain itself, which is
potentially impacted by disorders such as hydrocephalus
or traumatic brain injury. In this work, a phase
correction approach is introduced to sequentially remove
all phase contributions except for brain pulsation.
