Stroke assessment with diffusional kurtosis imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite being the gold standard technique for stroke assessment, conventional diffusion MRI provides only partial information about tissue microstructure. Diffusional kurtosis imaging is an advanced diffusion MRI method that yields, in addition to conventional diffusion information, the diffusional kurtosis, which may help improve characterization of tissue microstructure...
متن کاملDiffusional Kurtosis Imaging in Acute Human Stroke
The management of acute human stroke is a high-priority medical emergency. Thrombolytic therapy is now part of the standard of care in most major medical centers, and the selection of patients for these treatments depends on several clinical factors as well as brain imaging findings. Diffusion MRI combined with perfusion imaging are accepted imaging protocols used to characterize ischemic strok...
متن کاملDiffusional Kurtosis Imaging and Motor Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Motor impairment is the most common deficit after stroke. Our aim was to evaluate whether diffusional kurtosis imaging can detect corticospinal tract microstructural changes in the acute phase for patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and motor impairment and to assess the correlations between diffusional kurtosis imaging-derived diffusion metrics for the corticospinal...
متن کاملDiffusional Kurtosis Imaging Assessment of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
INTRODUCTION: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare, multi-system genetic disease that, as a result of dominant mutations of TSC1 and TSC2 genes, causes tumors/lesions to grow in various organs. In the central nervous system, TSC is predominantly characterized by cortical/subcortical tubers which are responsible for the seizures (90%) and mild to severe developmental delays found in TSC [1...
متن کاملNeuromyelitis optica: a diffusional kurtosis imaging study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional MR imaging typically yields normal images of the brain or indicates lesions in areas of high aquaporin expression in patients with neuromyelitis optica. Diffusional kurtosis imaging was applied in patients with neuromyelitis optica to determine whether this technique could detect alterations in diffusion and diffusional kurtosis parameters in normal-appearing...
