چکیده

Figure 2 This shows plots of ηT and ρ (estimated using both polynomial and voxel methods) in the region of interest, from the simulation experiment with |G|max=40mT/m Figure 3 The estimated values of ρ in the human CC using the polynomial fitting method (a) and the voxel method (b). The polynomial method extracts the low-high-low trend we expect to see. The voxel method fits reasonable values of ρ in the midbody, but wildly overand underestimates in the genu and splenium.

Regional variation models of white matter microstructure

Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is a powerful in vivo imaging technique that is particularly sensitive to the underlying microstructure of white matter tissue in the brain. Many models of the DW-MRI signal exist that allow us to relate the signals we measure to various aspects of the tissue structure, including measures of diffusivity, cellularity and even axon size. From histology, we know tha...

Microstructural parameter estimation in vivo using diffusion MRI and structured prior information.

PURPOSE Diffusion MRI has recently been used with detailed models to probe tissue microstructure. Much of this work has been performed ex vivo with powerful scanner hardware, to gain sensitivity to parameters such as axon radius. By contrast, performing microstructure imaging on clinical scanners is extremely challenging. METHODS We use an optimized dual spin-echo diffusion protocol, and a Ba...

Assessment of Diffusion Anisotropy of White Matter in Areas of the Brain with crossing fibers: A simulation study

Introduction: We present a model of simulation of diffusion in white matter. This model has been used in Diffusion Weighted Imaging researches as a tool for employing cylindrically constrained two-tensor models to identify two independent directions within a voxel and assessing the orientation angle as a parameter that influence on fractional anisotropy.   Materials a...

Optimal diffusion-gradient waveforms for measuring axon diameter

Introduction: Measuring microstructure parameters of brain tissue, such as axon radius, in vivo is a challenge in diffusion MRI. Current approaches typically use pulsed-gradient spin-echo (PGSE) [1] or stimulated-echo (STEAM) [2] sequences, both of which use a rectangular diffusion-gradient pulse. However other shapes of diffusion-gradient pulses such as oscillating [3] or chirped [4] may provi...

Axon radius estimation with Oscillating Gradient Spin Echo (OGSE) Diffusion MRI

The estimation of axon radius provides insights into brain function [1] and could provide progression and classification biomarkers for a number of white matter diseases [2-4]. A recent in silico study [5] has shown that optimised gradient waveforms (GEN) and oscillating gradient waveform spin echo (OGSE) have increased sensitivity to small axon radius compared to pulsed gradient spin echo (PGS...
