Non - invasive average axon diameter mapping using double pulsed field gradient ( d - PFG ) filtered MRI
The diameter of myelinated axons is a critical neurophysiological parameter that scales with nerve conduction velocity. In the spinal cord, axons are somatotopically organized into distinct anatomical regions performing specific functions, and characterized by different diameters and diameter distributions. Measuring axon diameters can shed light on nerve function and pathology. In this study w...
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 کاملFiber orientation-dependent white matter contrast in gradient echo MRI.
Recent studies have shown that there is a direct link between the orientation of the nerve fibers in white matter (WM) and the contrast observed in magnitude and phase images acquired using gradient echo MRI. Understanding the origin of this link is of great interest because it could offer access to a new diagnostic tool for investigating tissue microstructure. Since it has been suggested that ...
متن کاملParameter Optimization for Quantitative Signal-Concentration Mapping Using Spoiled Gradient Echo MRI
Rationale and Objectives. Accurate signal to tracer concentration maps are critical to quantitative MRI. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and optimize spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) MR sequences for the use of gadolinium (Gd-DTPA) as a kinetic tracer. Methods. Water-gadolinium phantoms were constructed for a physiologic range of gadolinium concentrations. Observed and calculated SPGR sig...
متن کاملHematoma volume measurement in gradient echo MRI using quantitative susceptibility mapping.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A novel quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) processing technology has been developed to map tissue susceptibility property without blooming artifacts. We hypothesize that hematoma volume measurement on QSM is independent of imaging parameters, eliminating its echo time dependence on gradient echo MRI. METHODS Gradient echo MRI of 16 patients with intracerebral hem...
