The ellipsoidal area ratio: an alternative anisotropy index for diffusion tensor imaging.
In the processing and analysis of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data, certain predefined morphological features of diffusion tensors are often represented as simplified scalar indices, termed diffusion anisotropy indices (DAIs). When comparing tensor morphologies across differing voxels of an image, or across corresponding voxels in different images, DAIs are mathematically and statistically m...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging for Glioma Grading: Analysis of Fiber Density Index
Introduction: The most common primary tumors of brain are gliomas and tumor grading is essential for designing proper treatment strategies. The gold standard choice to determine grade of glial tumor is biopsy which is an invasive method. The purpose of this study was to investigatethe role of fiber density index (FDi) by means of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (as a noninvasive method) in glial...
متن کاملEvaluation of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Tumors Electrical Conductivity Anisotropy Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging for Numerical Modeling on Electroporation
Introduction: There is many ways to assessing the electrical conductivity anisotropyof a tumor. Applying the values of tissue electrical conductivity anisotropyis crucial in numerical modeling of the electric and thermal field distribution in electroporationtreatments. This study aims to calculate the tissues electrical conductivityanisotropy in patients with sarcoma tumors using diffusion tens...
متن کاملAsymmetry of subinsular anisotropy by in vivo diffusion tensor imaging.
The cortical regions specialized in speech-language exhibit a left-right asymmetry, e.g., a larger cortical size in the left auditory cortex and Wernicke's area. The possibility of developmental asymmetry in axonal fibers interconnecting speech-language cortical areas can be investigated by in vivo diffusion tensor imaging. Fifteen right-handed native English speakers showed a markedly signific...
متن کاملNoise Reduction in Diffusion Tensor Imaging – Reducing Systematic Anisotropy Errors
Introduction Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows the investigation of diffusion differences between structures in vivo. For example, measurements of diffusion anisotropy delineate fibre tracts in the white matter of normal individuals and provide a means for investigating disruptions, such as those caused by multiple sclerosis or stroke. However, DTI measurements are sensitive to noise levels...
