Diffusion tensor imaging: concepts and applications.
The success of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is deeply rooted in the powerful concept that during their random, diffusion-driven displacements molecules probe tissue structure at a microscopic scale well beyond the usual image resolution. As diffusion is truly a three-dimensional process, molecular mobility in tissues may be anisotropic, as in brain white matter. With diffusion ten...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Tractography Around Brain Tumors: Concepts and Applications
Standard clinical MR images, however anatomically detailed, generally do not allow the assessment of specific white matter (WM) fiber tracts. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and DTIbased fiber tracking (“tractography”) have enabled unprecedented, in vivo visualization of individual WM tracts and their relationships with cerebral pathology. While much of the work in this field remains experimenta...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted Imaging and Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Assessment of the integrity of the articular cartilage is considered key for the early diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA). Diffusion-weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging have potential as biomarkers for cartilage composition and structure. The value of diffusion to detect compositional and structural changes in the cartilage matrix has been shown in ex vivo experiments for several years....
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging: Exploring the Motor Networks and Clinical Applications
With the advances in diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been applied to a number of neurological conditions because DTI can demonstrate microstructures of the brain that are not assessable with conventional MR imaging. Tractography based on DTI offers gross visualization of the white matter fiber architecture in the human brain in vivo. Degr...
متن کاملThe Benefits and implementations of Diffusion tensor imaging and Neural Fiber Tractography in Brain Surgery
Background and Aim: The methods for detecting brain activation with fMRI, MRI provides a way to measure the anatomical connections which enable lightning-fast communication among neurons that specialize in different kinds of brain functions. Diffusion tensor imaging is able to measure the direction of bundles of the axonal fibers which are all aligned. Besides mapping white matter fiber tracts,...
