Specific changes in water diffusivity due to passive shortening and lengthening of the thigh muscles – A Diffusion Tensor Imaging study
Introduction The organization of skeletal muscle fibers, or muscle architecture, strongly determines the muscle’s maximum force capacity [1]. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), widely used in brain studies, has recently emerged as an attractive tool for investigating the microstructure of skeletal muscle. In this latter, DTI provides information about the water molecules self-diffusion which is re...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor MRI for the in vivo determination of skeletal muscle architecture in two ankle angles
Introduction: Mechanisms of force loss that occur during progressive muscular diseases are more and more studied using mouse models. Such diseases generally cause both a decrease in maximal tension and progressive muscle wasting, which may result in profound changes in muscle architecture. Muscle architecture is a main determinant of the mechanical behavior of skeletal muscle [1], and is charac...
متن کاملDiffusion-Tensor MRI Based Skeletal Muscle Fiber Tracking.
A skeletal muscle's function is strongly influenced by the internal organization and geometric properties of its fibers, a property known as muscle architecture. Diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging-based fiber tracking provides a powerful tool for non-invasive muscle architecture studies, has three-dimensional sensitivity, and uses a fixed frame of reference. Significant advances have b...
متن کاملEvaluation of White Matter Tracts in Autistic Individuals: A Review of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studies
Introduction: Many cognitive and social deficits in autism are caused by abnormal functional connections between brain networks, which are manifested by impaired integrity of white matter tracts. White matter tracts are like the "highways" of the brain, which allow fast and efficient communication in different areas of the brain. The purpose of this article is to review the results of autism st...
متن کاملAccelerated Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Skeletal Muscle Using Simultaneous Multi-Slice Acquisition
Simultaneous multi-slice acquisition with CAIPIRINHA reduces the scan time in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. In this article, we resume our early experience with this technique for accelerated diffusion tensor imaging of skeletal muscle [1].
