The Directional Metrics of Diffusion
نویسنده
چکیده
Nowadays, the diffusion imaging sequences have become the major component of magnetic resonance imaging armamentarium. Sensitivity of these sequences to motion of water molecules in and around the cells and noninvasiveness are thought to allow them as powerful tools to explore the pathophysiological processes occurring in living organisms. Of several powerful diffusion imaging sequences, DiffusionWeighted Imaging (DWI), Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) are commonly applied in clinical and clinical research purposes, thought to be at least related to short acquisition time.

Distributed and Cooperative Compressive Sensing Recovery Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks with Bi-directional Incremental Topology
Recently, the problem of compressive sensing (CS) has attracted lots of attention in the area of signal processing. So, much of the research in this field is being carried out in this issue. One of the applications where CS could be used is wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The structure of WSNs consists of many low power wireless sensors. This requires that any improved algorithm for this appli...
متن کاملQuantitative Metrics for White Matter Integrity Based on Diffusion Tensor MRI Data
We present several new metrics of white matter integrity derived from multi-directional diffusion MRI measurements. The metrics are based on tracts of interest (TOIs) and measure properties of those tracts. TOIs are defined as a subset of representative streamtubes within a brain. For example, the whole brain is a TOI, as is a selection of streamtubes representing the cingulum bundle. In our wo...
