Biexponential diffusion tensor analysis of human brain diffusion data.
Several studies have shown that in tissues over an extended range of b-factors, the signal decay deviates significantly from the basic monoexponential model. The true nature of this departure has to date not been identified. For the current study, line scan diffusion images of brain suitable for biexponential diffusion tensor analysis were acquired in normal subjects on a clinical MR system. Fo...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Visual Analysis of the Human Brain
Magneto-Resonance (MR) Imaging allows retrieving information about tissues by emitting a magnetic pulse and measuring the electro-magnetic radiation as emitted from hydrogenium atoms. Depending on the structure of this magnetic pulse, different hydrogenium atoms are selected and diverse properties of the tissues, in particular depending on the content of water, can be highlighted. In a more ela...
متن کاملProcrustes Analysis of Diffusion Tensor Data
Introduction: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is becoming increasingly important in clinical studies of diseases such as multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia, and also in investigating brain connectivity. Hence, there is a growing need to process diffusion tensor (DT) images within a statistical framework based on appropriate mathematical metrics. However, the usual Euclidean operations are ofte...
متن کاملBiexponential analysis of diffusion-tensor imaging of the brain in patients with cirrhosis before and after liver transplantation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DTI has shown increased MD of water molecules in the brain of patients with cirrhosis, consistent with low-grade edema. This study further characterizes this edema by using biexponential analysis of DTI data, a technique that may differentiate cytotoxic and vasogenic edema. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 41 patients with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation and 16...
متن کاملBiexponential apparent diffusion coefficient parametrization in adult vs newborn brain.
The decay of brain water signal with b-factor in adult and newborn brains has been measured over an extended b-factor range. Measurements of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) decay curves were made at 16 b-factors from 100 to 5000 s/mm(2) along three orthogonal directions using a line scan diffusion imaging (LSDI) sequence to acquire data from 0.09 ml voxels in a mid-brain axial slice. R...
