MR diffusion tensor spectroscopy and imaging.
This paper describes a new NMR imaging modality--MR diffusion tensor imaging. It consists of estimating an effective diffusion tensor, Deff, within a voxel, and then displaying useful quantities derived from it. We show how the phenomenon of anisotropic diffusion of water (or metabolites) in anisotropic tissues, measured noninvasively by these NMR methods, is exploited to determine fiber tract ...
متن کاملMR Neurography - Imaging Peripheral Nerves
MR imaging of peripheral nerves not only allows sensitive detection of peripheral nerve abnormalities but also displays high detail of regional anatomy and improves specificity of diagnosis. The use of MR imaging for diagnosis and evaluation of peripheral nervous system disorders was initially reported in the late 1980’s. Since then, expertise gained through experience over the last decade coup...
متن کاملDiffusion - Tensor Mr Imaging Fundamentals C
It is remarkable that the MR measurement of the diffu sivity of water in neural tissue provides unique and useful biological and clinical information about tissue composition, the physical properties of its constituents, tissue microstructure, and architectural organization. Moreover, this information can be obtained in vivo, noninvasively without contrast agents. This chapter deals with diffu...
متن کاملMR diffusion tensor imaging: recent advance and new techniques for diffusion tensor visualization.
Recently, diffusion tensor imaging is attracting the biomedical researchers for its application in depiction of fiber tracts based on diffusion anisotropy. In this paper, we briefly describe the basic theory of diffusion tensor MR imaging, the determination process of diffusion tensor, and the basic concepts of diffusion tensor visualization techniques. Several results of clinical application i...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor MR imaging and fiber tractography: technical considerations.
This second article of the 2-part review builds on the theoretic background provided by the first article to cover the major technical factors that affect image quality in diffusion imaging, including the acquisition sequence, magnet field strength, gradient amplitude, and slew rate as well as multichannel radio-frequency coils and parallel imaging. The sources of many common diffusion image ar...
