[Abstract] Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is an emerging diffusion index to quantify non-Gaussian diffusional process in vivo and an extension of the technology of diffusion tensor imaging, particularly having unique advantages for characterizing microstructure of tissues. The technology of DKI has been studied in the nervous system and has made good progresses. In recent years, DKI is gradually applied to the researches of other different systems and has also obtained preliminary results, which displayed certain clinical values. This article proposed to summary the technic principles and application advances in various systems for DKI.
