Effects of Turboprop diffusion tensor imaging acquisition parameters on the noise of fractional anisotropy
Introduction: Traditionally, DTI data is acquired with EPI because of its short imaging time. However, EPI-based DTI suffers from eddy-current and magnetic field inhomogeneity-related artifacts. Turboprop is characterized by low sensitivity to eddy-current and B0 effects, and is gaining popularity in DTI studies of the brain. In EPI-based DTI, it has been shown that, measuring diffusion weighte...
متن کاملAnisotropic fractional diffusion tensor imaging.
Traditional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) maps brain structure by fitting a diffusion model to the magnitude of the electrical signal acquired in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fractional DTI employs anomalous diffusion models to obtain a better fit to real MRI data, which can exhibit anomalous diffusion in both time and space. In this paper, we describe the challenge of developing and empl...
متن کاملA validation study of multicenter diffusion tensor imaging: reliability of fractional anisotropy and diffusivity values.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DTI is increasingly being used as a measure to study tissue damage in several neurologic diseases. Our aim was to investigate the comparability of DTI measures between different MR imaging magnets and platforms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two healthy volunteers underwent DTI on five 3T MR imaging scanners (3 Trios and 2 Signas) by using a matched 33 noncollinear diffusion-di...
متن کاملCognitive aging, executive function, and fractional anisotropy: a diffusion tensor MR imaging study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fractional anisotropy (FA) is a useful measure of connectivity in the brain that can be derived from the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) dataset. This study investigated the relationship between FA and selected measures of cognition across a broad age group to explore a possible structural basis for cognitive changes with age. METHODS FA images were generated from DTI da...
