Improving Fiber Alignment in HARDI by Combining Contextual PDE Flow with Constrained Spherical Deconvolution
We propose two strategies to improve the quality of tractography results computed from diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) data. Both methods are based on the same PDE framework, defined in the coupled space of positions and orientations, associated with a stochastic process describing the enhancement of elongated structures while preserving crossing structures. In the first ...
متن کاملProbabilistic fiber tracking using the residual bootstrap with constrained spherical deconvolution.
Constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD) is a new technique that, based on high-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) MR data, estimates the orientation of multiple intravoxel fiber populations within regions of complex white matter architecture, thereby overcoming the limitations of the widely used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique. One of its main applications is fiber tractogr...
متن کاملIn vivo investigations of accuracy and precision of fiber orientations in crossing fibers in spherical deconvolution-based HARDI methods
Target audience: Researchers interested in optimizing High-Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging acquisitions. Introduction: Diffusion MRI methods based on high-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) acquisitions provide a good trade-off between acquisition time and accuracy of the estimated diffusion or fiber orientation distribution function (dODF/fODF) [1-3]. Recently, an extensive eval...
متن کاملEstimating the number of fiber orientations in diffusion MRI voxels: a constrained spherical deconvolution study
Introduction: It has long been recognized that the Gaussian diffusion tensor model is inappropriate for voxels with complex fiber architecture [1, 2]. Many groups have tried to classify voxels in terms of their diffusion complexity. The earliest studies distinguished between voxels with isotropic, single-fiber anisotropic, and multifiber anisotropic complexity and have reported clustered and sy...
متن کاملDetermination of Fiber Direction in High Angular Resolution Diffusion Images using Spherical Harmonics Functions and Wiener Filter
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) MRI is a noninvasive imaging method of the cerebral tissues whose fibers directions are not evaluated correctly in the regions of the crossing fibers. For the same reason the high angular resolution diffusion images (HARDI) are used for estimation of the fiber direction in each voxel. One of the main methods to specify the direction of fibers is usage of the spher...
