High resolution whole brain diffusion imaging at 7 T for the Human Connectome Project
Mapping structural connectivity in healthy adults for the Human Connectome Project (HCP) benefits from high quality, high resolution, multiband (MB)-accelerated whole brain diffusion MRI (dMRI). Acquiring such data at ultrahigh fields (7T and above) can improve intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but suffers from shorter T2 and T2(⁎) relaxation times, increased B1(+) inhomogeneity (resulting...
متن کاملSurface-driven registration method for the structure-informed segmentation of diffusion MR images
Current methods for processing diffusion MRI (dMRI) to map the connectivity of the human brain require precise delineations of anatomical structures. This requirement has been approached by either segmenting the data in native dMRI space or mapping the structural information from T1-weighted (T1w) images. The characteristic features of diffusion data in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, resolutio...
متن کاملDiffusion Mr Image Segmentation: towards Global Brain Connectivity Analysis
The exploration of the human connectome, a term denoting the global structural connectivity of the brain, is accessible to MRI at millimeter and centimeter scales. In this paper, we propose a methodology to map the connectome by constructing normalized whole-brain structural connection matrices derived from diffusion spectrum MRI tractography. Using a template-based approach, we propose a robus...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Directed Human Connectomes and the Consensus Connectome Dynamics
Here we show a method of directing the edges of the connectomes, prepared from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) datasets from the human brain. Before the present work, no high-definition directed braingraphs (or connectomes) were published, because the tractography methods in use are not capable of assigning directions to the neural tracts discovered. Previous work on the functional connectomes a...
متن کاملFusion in diffusion MRI for improved fibre orientation estimation: An application to the 3T and 7T data of the Human Connectome Project
Determining the acquisition parameters in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is governed by a series of trade-offs. Images of lower resolution have less spatial specificity but higher signal to noise ratio (SNR). At the same time higher angular contrast, important for resolving complex fibre patterns, also yields lower SNR. Considering these trade-offs, the Human Connectome Project (HC...
