Diffusion tractography of the fornix in schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND White matter fiber tracts, especially those interconnecting the frontal and temporal lobes, are likely implicated in pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Very few studies, however, have focused on the fornix, a compact bundle of white matter fibers, projecting from the hippocampus to the septum, anterior nucleus of the thalamus and the mamillary bodies. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), a...
متن کاملChoice of diffusion tensor estimation approach affects fiber tractography of the fornix in preterm brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neonatal DTI enables quantitative assessment of microstructural brain properties. Although its use is increasing, it is not widely known that vast differences in tractography results can occur, depending on the diffusion tensor estimation methodology used. Current clinical work appears to be insufficiently focused on data quality and processing of neonatal DTI. To raise a...
متن کاملFornix Injury in a Patient with Rotavirus Encephalopathy: Diffusion Tensor Tractography Study
Rotavirus encephalopathy (RE) is a benign afebrile seizure associated with acute gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus infection. We investigated the diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) findings of a patient with RE. The patient was a 30-month-old female that had experienced a brief, generalized convulsive seizure. On the day of admission, the patient had vomiting and experienced watery diarrhea....
متن کاملPrecommissural Fornix in the Human Brain: A Diffusion Tensor Tractography Study
PURPOSE Other than a single case report, no diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) studies of the precommissural fornix in the human brain have been conducted. In the current study, we attempted to visualize the precommissural fornix in the human brain using DTT. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited 36 healthy volunteers for this study. Diffusion tensor images were scanned using a 1.5-T scanner, a...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging and Tractography
In selected patients with medically refractory epilepsy, surgical treatment can render the patients seizure free or significantly reduce seizure frequency. Temporal lobe resection (TLR) for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most commonly performed epilepsy surgery procedure. A visual field defect (VFD) due to injury to the optic radiation (OR) may occur after TLR. Diffusion tensor imaging (DT...
