Histogram analysis of diffusion kurtosis imaging of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Correlation between quantitative parameters and clinical stage
PURPOSE To evaluate the correlation between histogram parameters derived from diffusion-kurtosis (DK) imaging and the clinical stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). RESULTS High T-stage (T3/4) NPC showed significantly higher Kapp-mean (P = 0.018), Kapp-median (P = 0.029) and Kapp-90th (P = 0.003) than low T-stage (T1/2) NPC. High N-stage NPC (N2/3) showed significantly lower Dapp-mean (P =...
متن کاملDiffusional kurtosis imaging of the developing brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusional kurtosis imaging is an extension of DTI but includes non-Gaussian diffusion effects, allowing more comprehensive characterization of microstructural changes during brain development. Our purpose was to use diffusional kurtosis imaging to measure age-related microstructural changes in both the WM and GM of the developing human brain. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dif...
متن کاملNeuromyelitis optica: a diffusional kurtosis imaging study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional MR imaging typically yields normal images of the brain or indicates lesions in areas of high aquaporin expression in patients with neuromyelitis optica. Diffusional kurtosis imaging was applied in patients with neuromyelitis optica to determine whether this technique could detect alterations in diffusion and diffusional kurtosis parameters in normal-appearing...
متن کاملEffects of diffusional kurtosis imaging parameters on diffusion quantification
Diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) is a new technique based on non-Gaussian water diffusion analysis. However, the original DKI protocol (six b values and 30 motion-probing gradient (MPG) directions) requires more than 10 min of scanning time, which is too long for daily clinical use. We aimed to find suitable b value, MPG direction, and diffusion time settings for faster DKI. Four normal healt...
متن کاملDiffusional Kurtosis Imaging in Acute Human Stroke
The management of acute human stroke is a high-priority medical emergency. Thrombolytic therapy is now part of the standard of care in most major medical centers, and the selection of patients for these treatments depends on several clinical factors as well as brain imaging findings. Diffusion MRI combined with perfusion imaging are accepted imaging protocols used to characterize ischemic strok...
