Diffusion weighted and diffusion tensor imaging: A clinical guide.
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an integral part of routine neuroimaging, used nearly universally in brain MRIs, and more recently for the spine, spinal cord, and head and neck. DWI provides clinically relevant information on conditions including stroke, infection, and neoplasms. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a powerful, newer technique with the potential for multiple protocols, includi...
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 کاملA hitchhiker's guide to diffusion tensor imaging
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) studies are increasingly popular among clinicians and researchers as they provide unique insights into brain network connectivity. However, in order to optimize the use of DTI, several technical and methodological aspects must be factored in. These include decisions on: acquisition protocol, artifact handling, data quality control, reconstruction algorithm, and vi...
متن کاملdiffusion weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and t2* mapping of lumbar intervertebral disc in young healthy adults
conclusion adc, fa, and t2* values may quantitatively reflect the microstructural characteristics of np, therefore they could be used to detect the minimal changes of early ldd. results the adc, fa, and t2* values were different (p < 0.05) among different rois within the same disc or among corresponding rois in different level discs. while the average values of adc increased regularly with the ...
متن کاملWeighted Procrustes Analysis for Diffusion Tensor Imaging
There has been substantial interest in the development of methods for processing diffusion tensor fields, taking into account the non-Euclidean nature of the tensor space. In this paper, we generalise Procrustes analysis to weighted Procrustes analysis for diffusion tensor smoothing, interpolation, regularisation and segmentation in which an arbitrary number of tensors can be processed efficien...
