Diffusion Tensor Image Guided Histological Assessment of a Kainic Acid Rat Epilepsy Model Ex Vivo Utilizing Tract-based Spatial Statistics Analysis
Introduction Epilepsy is a challenging disease for imaging due to heterogeneous, widespread and non-focal changes in the brain tissue. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) analysis has been successful to identify changes in patients with epilepsy. However, histological analysis in experimental epilepsy models is necessary to understand the nature of these cha...
متن کاملWhite matter alteration in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: tract-based spatial statistics study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE White matter alteration in iNPH has not been well-investigated. TBSS is a voxelwise statistical analysis developed for DTI data. We aimed to elucidate the cerebral white matter alteration in patients with iNPH by using DTI and to test the accuracy of TBSS analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS DTI data were obtained from 20 patients with iNPH and 20 age- and sex-matched contro...
متن کاملTract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) Study in Parkinson’s Disease Identifies Focal Microstructural Abnormality
Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder characterised primarily by pathological changes involving the loss of nigrostriatal dopamerigic neurons. In addition there are increasingly recognised deficits of non-motor cerebral domains such as those involved in cognition. As yet there has been little published quantifying the role white matter (WM) cerebral pathology plays in...
متن کاملVoxel Based Analysis of Diffusion Indices in Patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Using Tract-Based Spatial Statistics
Background and purpose: Diffusion tensor imaging can provide information about microstructural changes of the visual pathway in glaucoma patients. Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) has been established for analysis of fractional anisotropy (FA) and has successfully been used for analysis of DTI data of glaucoma patients. However there are certain DTI indices such as mean diffusivity (MD), r...
متن کاملMethodological considerations on tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS)
Having gained a tremendous amount of popularity since its introduction in 2006, tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) can now be considered as the standard approach for voxel-based analysis (VBA) of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data. Aiming to improve the sensitivity, objectivity, and interpretability of multi-subject DTI studies, TBSS includes a skeletonization step that alleviates residual ...
