Introduction

Image example to be replaced

Anomalous diffusion processes (ADP) are mathematically denoted by a power law in the Fokker-Planck equation, leading to the generalized form. There are several generalizations of the Fokker-Plank equation, which should give many different partial differential equations (PDEs). Here we adopt only the so-called porous media form, allowing the super-diffusive and the subdiffusive processes. [1] In porous media, channels are created promoting or blocking the flow of the density function, which has been proved to provide a suitable application on MRI filtering.[2]

Basically, there are two different filters already implementing the anomalous diffusion process: the isotropic anomalous diffusion and anisotropic anomalous diffusion filters.[3] Each of these filters were already applied on different imaging MR modalities, such as structural T1 and T2 images[4], diffusion weighted images (DWI and DTI)[5][6], MRI relaxation T1 and T2 relaxometry[7] and in fMRI[8] as an initial study.
