Developments in NMR diffusion measurements and q-space imaging

NMR diffusion measurements have been undergoing continuous theoretical and practical development for more than four decades leading to more robust and accurate measurements and the ability to extract increasingly diverse information. Concomitant with this development has been applications ranging across ever more areas of science ranging from physical chemistry to clinical medicine. NMR diffusion measurements can provide information on not only the translational dynamics of a species but also on the local geometrical structures which influence translational motion, when used for the latter case such measurements are often referred to as q-space imaging. This review focuses on some of the significant developments in this area over the last decade.
