Abstract
A computer-implemented method of characterizing molecular diffusion within a body from a set of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance signals by computing a weighted average of a plurality of multi-compartment diffusion models comprises a same number of compartments, fitted to a set of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance signals, the weighted average being computed using weights representative of a performance criterion of each of the models; wherein each of the multi-compartment diffusion models comprises a different number of subsets of compartments, the compartments of a same subset being identical to each other.
