High b-value q-space diffusion MRI in myelin-deficient rat spinal cords.
In this study, we explore the effect of the lack of myelin on the diffusion characteristics and diffusion anisotropy obtained from high b-value q-space diffusion-weighted MRI (q-space DWI) in excised rat spinal cords. Twenty-one-day-old myelin-deficient (md) mutant (N=6) and control rats (N=6) were used in this study. The MRI protocol included multi-slice T(1), T(2), proton density (PD) MR imag...
متن کاملThe effect of myelin on the q-space and conventional DTI indices in excised myelin-deficient rat brains
Introduction Water diffusion in neuronal tissues was found to be anisotropic more than a decade ago and has been heavily exploited since by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to map white matter tracks in the brain. The widely used DTI techniques are based upon the analysis of a single diffusing component although it is well known that at sufficient high diffusion weighting, more than one diffusion...
متن کاملDiffusion anisotropy in WM depends on myelin content in a diffusion time-dependent manner: evidence from high b value q-space diffusion MR of myelin deficient rat spinal cord
Synopsis The relative importance of myelin in the determining diffusion anisotropy of water in white matter (WM) remains elusive. To address this problem, high b value q-space diffusion MRS and MRI were performed on myelin deficient (md) and age-matched control spinal cords at different diffusion times and gradient pulse durations. Although differences in the diffusion characteristics between t...
متن کاملQSI and DTI of excised brains of the myelin-deficient rat
High b-value q-space diffusion imaging (QSI) and conventional DTI methodologies were used to study the MRI diffusion characteristics of excised brains of 21-day-old myelin-deficient (md) rats and their age-matched controls. Three different indices were calculated from the QSI data, i.e., Displacement, Probability and Kurtosis, for the purpose of evaluating the effect of the myelin sheaths on th...
متن کاملQuantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Cortical Multiple Sclerosis Pathology
Although significant improvements have been made regarding the visualization and characterization of cortical multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cortical lesions (CL) continue to be under-detected in vivo, and we have a limited understanding of the causes of GM pathology. The objective of this study was to characterize the MRI signature of CLs to help interp...
