Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for analyzing diffusion weighted images (DWI) using impeded diffusion fraction models for quantitative imaging diagnostic assay of cancer, such as glandular tissue cancers. The Impeded diffusion fraction models are tissue and cancer independent and generate a single score representative of multi-compartment diffusion fractions occurring within each voxel of a DWI image.
