Anisotropic Smoothing Improves DT-MRI-Based Muscle Fiber Tractography
PURPOSE To assess the effect of anisotropic smoothing on fiber tracking measures, including pennation angle, fiber tract length, and fiber tract number in the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle in healthy subjects using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS 3T DW-MRI data were used for muscle fiber tractography in the MG of healthy subjects. Anisotropic s...
متن کاملMuscle Pennation Measured with DT-MRI 1 Quantitative Diffusion Tensor MRI-Based Fiber Tracking of Human Skeletal Muscle
Diffusion-tensor MRI (DT-MRI) offers great potential for understanding structure-function relationships in human skeletal muscles. The purposes of this study were to demonstrate the feasibility of using in vivo human DT-MRI fiber tracking data for making pennation angle measurements and to test the hypothesis that heterogeneity in the orientation of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle’s aponeuros...
متن کاملShape Analysis of Open Curves in R3 with Applications to Study of Fiber Tracts in DT-MRI Data
Motivated by the problem of analyzing shapes of fiber tracts in DT-MRI data, we present a geometric framework for studying shapes of open curves in R. We start with a space of unit-length curves and define the shape space to be its quotient space modulo rotation and reparametrization groups. Thus, the resulting shape analysis is invariant to parameterizations of curves. Furthermore, a Riemannia...
متن کاملDT-MRI Images: Estimation, Regularization, and Application
Diffusion-Tensor MRI is a technique allowing the measurement of the water molecule motion in the tissues fibers, by the mean of rendering multiple MRI images under different oriented magnetic fields. This large set of raw data is then further estimated into a volume of diffusion tensors (i.e. 3 × 3 symmetric and positive-definite matrices) that describe through their spectral elements, the diff...
متن کاملColoring of DT-MRI Fiber Traces Using Laplacian Eigenmaps
We propose a novel post processing method for visualization of fiber traces from DT-MRI data. Using a recently proposed non-linear dimensionality reduction technique, Laplacian eigenmaps [3], we create a mapping from a set of fiber traces to a low dimensional Euclidean space. Laplacian eigenmaps constructs this mapping so that similar traces are mapped to similar points, given a custom made pai...
