A magnetic resonance neurography technique for exclusive imaging of nerve networks is proposed. In the proposed technique, the anisotropy of diffusion coefficients of the molecules inside nerve cells was utilized to effectively suppress the magnetic resonance signal radiating from ones other than nerve tissues. Two images were obtained with diffusionweighting magnetic field gradients applied in the parallel and perpendicular directions with respect to the nerve orientation. One image was then subtract- ted from the other to form the neurogram. Experimentally obtained neurograms of the squld are presented.
