Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Structural Connectivity, and Schizophrenia
A fundamental tenet of the "disconnectivity" theories of schizophrenia is that the disorder is ultimately caused by abnormal communication between spatially disparate brain structures. Given that the white matter fasciculi represent the primary infrastructure for long distance communication in the brain, abnormalities in these fiber bundles have been implicated in the etiology of schizophrenia....
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging to Study Brain Connectivity
Introduction MRI has been a powerful tool to map anatomy and function of human brains. To assign functions of the cortex, fMRI has been playing important roles. Classically, anatomy – function correlation studies had relied on postmortem examination of patients with localized lesions. Now we have a tool to non-invasively investigate functional centers of the brain. Compared to the cortical mapp...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging for Glioma Grading: Analysis of Fiber Density Index
Introduction: The most common primary tumors of brain are gliomas and tumor grading is essential for designing proper treatment strategies. The gold standard choice to determine grade of glial tumor is biopsy which is an invasive method. The purpose of this study was to investigatethe role of fiber density index (FDi) by means of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (as a noninvasive method) in glial...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relationship between axon injury and clinical symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis using diffusion tensor MRI imaging
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that shows detailed anatomical and pathological images. It is often used for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring, in particular with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, conventional MRI provides only qualitative inf...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Edematous, Tumoral and Normal Areas of Brain Using Diffusion Tensor and Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging
Background: Presurigical planning for glioma tumor resection and radiotherapy treatment require proper delineation of tumoral and peritumoral areas of brain. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is the most common mathematical model applied for diffusion weighted MRI data. Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) is another mathematical model for DWI data modeling.Objective: We stud...
