Diffusion-Weighted MRI as a Probe of Tissue Microstructure
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an indispensable tool in the diagnosis of many diseases and in monitoring various treatments, functional activation, development, and aging. Sensitizing the MRI signal to diffusional motion of spin-labeled molecules enables the quantification of microstructural parameters that describe the geometry being examined. For example, when there is significant levels...
متن کاملTumor spatial heterogeneity in myxoid-containing soft tissue using texture analysis of diffusion-weighted MRI
The objective of this study was to examine the tumor spatial heterogeneity in myxoid-containing soft-tissue tumors (STTs) using texture analysis of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). A total of 40 patients with myxoid-containing STTs (23 benign and 17 malignant) were included in this study. The region of interest (ROI) was manually drawn on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map. For textu...
متن کاملAssessment of Tissue Viability Using Diffusion- and Perfusion-Weighted MRI in Hyperacute Stroke
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the diffusion and perfusion parameters in hyperacute infarction, and we wanted to determine the viability threshold for the ischemic penumbra using diffusion- and perfusion-weighted imaging (DWI and PWI, respectively). MATERIALS AND METHODS Both DWI and PWI were performed within six hours from the onset of symptoms fo...
متن کاملBrain Morphometry Using Diffusion Weighted MRI: Application to Schizophrenia
Loss of cortical gray matter is accompanied by a commensurate increase in the sulcal and intraventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume. On diffusion weighted MRI, this would be reflected as a higher apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in affected brain regions. We propose voxelwise analysis of ADC maps as an indirect method for assessment of regional brain volume deficits. Here we demonstr...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted imaging differentiates ischemic tissue from traumatized tissue.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be particularly effective in detecting early (0 to 4 hours) pathophysiological changes in localized brain regions after cerebral ischemia. The present study sought to establish whether diffusion-weighted MRI would be similarly effective in predicting outcome after traumatic brain injury. METHODS Diffu...
