brain tissue classification based on diffusion tensor imaging: a comparative study between some clustering algorithms and their effect on different diffusion tensor imaging scalar indices
materials and methods the segmentation process is evaluated using four different clustering methods with different number of clusters where some dti scalar indices for 10 human brains are processed. results the aim was to produce results with less segmentation error and a lower computational cost while attempting to minimizing boundary overlapping and minimizing the effect of artifacts due to m...
متن کاملWhite matter heritability using diffusion tensor imaging in neonatal brains.
Understanding genetic and environmental effects on white matter development in the first years of life is of great interest, as it provides insights into the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. In this study, the genetic and environmental effects on white matter were estimated using data from 173 neonatal twin subjects. Diffusion tensor imaging scans were acquired around 40 days after bir...
متن کاملEvaluation of White Matter Tracts in Autistic Individuals: A Review of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studies
Introduction: Many cognitive and social deficits in autism are caused by abnormal functional connections between brain networks, which are manifested by impaired integrity of white matter tracts. White matter tracts are like the "highways" of the brain, which allow fast and efficient communication in different areas of the brain. The purpose of this article is to review the results of autism st...
متن کاملWhite matter microstructure changes in the thalamus in Parkinson disease with depression: A diffusion tensor MR imaging study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Depression occurs frequently in PD; however the neural basis of depression in PD remains unclear. The aim of this study was to characterize possible depression-related white matter microstructural changes in the thalamus of patients with DPD compared with those with NDPD. MATERIALS AND METHODS FA and MD maps from DTI were obtained in 14 patients with DPD and 18 patients...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging to Study Brain Connectivity
Introduction MRI has been a powerful tool to map anatomy and function of human brains. To assign functions of the cortex, fMRI has been playing important roles. Classically, anatomy – function correlation studies had relied on postmortem examination of patients with localized lesions. Now we have a tool to non-invasively investigate functional centers of the brain. Compared to the cortical mapp...
