Fast and simplified mapping of mean axon diameter using temporal diffusion spectroscopy.
Mapping axon diameter is of interest for the potential diagnosis and monitoring of various neuronal pathologies. Advanced diffusion-weighted MRI methods have been developed to measure mean axon diameters non-invasively, but suffer major drawbacks that prevent their direct translation into clinical practice, such as complex non-linear data fitting and, more importantly, long scanning times that ...
متن کاملMapping mean axon diameter and axonal volume fraction by MRI using temporal diffusion spectroscopy
Mapping mean axon diameter and intra-axonal volume fraction may have significant clinical potential because nerve conduction velocity is directly dependent on axon diameter, and several neurodegenerative diseases affect axons of specific sizes and alter axon counts. Diffusion-weighted MRI methods based on the pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) sequence have been reported to be able to assess axon...
متن کاملAxon Diameter Mapping in the Presence of Orientation Dispersion with Diffusion MRI
Direct measurement of tissue microstructure with diffusion MRI offers a new class of markers, such as axon diameters, that give more specific information about tissue than measures derived from diffusion tensor imaging. The existing techniques of this kind assume a single axon orientation in the tissue model, which may be a reasonable approximation only for the most coherently oriented brain wh...
متن کاملFast and robust measurement of microstructural dimensions using temporal diffusion spectroscopy.
Mapping axon sizes non-invasively is of interest for neuroscientists and may have significant clinical potential because nerve conduction velocity is directly dependent on axon size. Current approaches to measuring axon sizes using diffusion-weighted MRI, e.g. q-space imaging with pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) sequences usually require long scan times and high q-values to detect small axons ...
متن کاملEfficient Axon Diameter Distribution Recovery with Long Diffusion Time
PURPOSE: This work proposes an original method to recover axon diameter distributions (ADD) of white matter (WM) using nuclear magnetic resonance. The technique might be interpreted as an interesting simplification of the AxCaliber framework [1], which leads to a simpler model and an extremely faster acquisition protocol. To test and validate our method, we use the open-source toolkit CAMINO [2...
