Diffusion-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 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 کاملPhantoms for diffusion-weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging quality control: A review and new perspectives
Introduction: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) combine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques and diffusion measures. In DWI, the contrast is defined by microscopic motion of water protons. Nowadays, DWI has become important for early diagnostic of acute stroke. DTI images are calculated from DWI images acquired in at least six directions, which give info...
متن کاملDiffusion 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 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...
