High angular resolution diffusion imaging reveals intravoxel white matter fiber heterogeneity.
Magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can resolve the white matter fiber orientation within a voxel provided that the fibers are strongly aligned. However, a given voxel may contain a distribution of fiber orientations due to, for example, intravoxel fiber crossing. The present study sought to test whether a geodesic, high b-value diffusion gradient sampling scheme could resolv...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of White Matter Atlas from High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging
We present a Bayesian probabilistic model to estimate the brain white matter atlas from high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data. This model incorporates a shape prior of the white matter anatomy and the likelihood of individual observed HARDI datasets. We first assume that the atlas is generated from a known hyperatlas through a flow of diffeomorphisms and its shape prior can be ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution line scan diffusion tensor MR imaging of white matter fiber tract anatomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR diffusion tensor imaging permits detailed visualization of white matter fiber tracts. This technique, unlike T2-weighted imaging, also provides information about fiber direction. We present findings of normal white matter fiber tract anatomy at high resolution obtained by using line scan diffusion tensor imaging. METHODS Diffusion tensor images in axial, coronal, and...
متن کاملIntravoxel water diffusion heterogeneity imaging of human high-grade gliomas.
This study aimed to determine the potential value of intravoxel water diffusion heterogeneity imaging for brain tumor characterization and evaluation of high-grade gliomas, by comparing an established heterogeneity index (alpha value) measured in human high-grade gliomas to those of normal appearing white and grey matter landmarks. Twenty patients with high-grade gliomas prospectively underwent...
متن کاملDiffusion Simulation Tractography for High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging
Introduction While the standard diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) approach has proven to be a valuable tool in detecting local tissue structure and reconstructing neural fiber networks in brain, it cannot accurately reveal the white matter structure in the presence of multiple fiber orientations within a single voxel. In particular, for crossed fibers, the second-order diffusion tensor model fails...
