Detecting compartmental non-Gaussian diffusion with symmetrized double-PFG MRI.
Diffusion in tissue and porous media is known to be non-Gaussian and has been used for clinical indications of stroke and other tissue pathologies. However, when conventional NMR techniques are applied to biological tissues and other heterogeneous materials, the presence of multiple compartments (pores) with different Gaussian diffusivities will also contribute to the measurement of non-Gaussia...
متن کاملDouble-PFG Diffusion-Diffraction in Ellipsoidal Pores
Repeated application of diffusion gradient pulse pairs [1] in a pulsed field gradient (PFG) experiment provides important insights into pore microstructure. For example, the dimensions and eccentricity of yeast cells were measured from the fourth order term of the double-PFG signal attenuation when the mixing time between the two encoding blocks is long [2]. In this abstract, we propose an alte...
متن کاملAccounting for free and restricted diffusion processes in single- and double-PFG experiments using a novel bi-compartmental phantom
Figure 3. Angular d-PFG experiments performed on a bi-compartmental phantom consisting of microcapillaries with inner diameter of 19 μm in the SDC and 20 μl of water in the FDC. The diffusion periods were sufficiently long to probe the boundaries. Symbols represent experimental data, while the solid lines represent the theoretical fitting to the experimental data. Accounting for free and restri...
متن کاملEvaluation of non‐Gaussian diffusion in cardiac MRI
PURPOSE The diffusion tensor model assumes Gaussian diffusion and is widely applied in cardiac diffusion MRI. However, diffusion in biological tissue deviates from a Gaussian profile as a result of hindrance and restriction from cell and tissue microstructure, and may be quantified better by non-Gaussian modeling. The aim of this study was to investigate non-Gaussian diffusion in healthy and hy...
متن کاملNon - invasive average axon diameter mapping using double pulsed field gradient ( d - PFG ) filtered MRI
The diameter of myelinated axons is a critical neurophysiological parameter that scales with nerve conduction velocity. In the spinal cord, axons are somatotopically organized into distinct anatomical regions performing specific functions, and characterized by different diameters and diameter distributions. Measuring axon diameters can shed light on nerve function and pathology. In this study w...
