Classification Study of DTI and HARDI Anisotropy Measures for HARDI Data Simplification
High angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) captures the angular diffusion pattern of water molecules more accurately than diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). This is of importance mainly in areas of complex intra-voxel fiber configurations. However, the extra complexity of HARDI models has many disadvantages that make it unattractive for clinical applications. One of the main drawbacks is th...
متن کاملImpact of Rician Adapted Non-Local Means Filtering on HARDI
In this paper we study the impact of denoising the raw high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data with the Non-Local Means filter adapted to Rician noise (NLMr). We first show that NLMr filtering improves robustness of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and orientation distribution function (ODF) reconstructions from synthetic HARDI datasets. Our results suggest that the NLMr filt...
متن کاملAnalysis of Fiber Reconstruction Accuracy in High Angular Resolution Diffusion Images (HARDI)
Introduction: High angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) is a powerful extension of MRI that maps the directional diffusion of water in the brain. With more diffusion gradients and directions, fiber directions may be tracked with greater angular precision, fiber crossings can be resolved, and anisotropy measures can be derived from the full fiber orientation density function. To better r...
متن کاملModeling diffusion-weighted MRI as a spatially variant Gaussian mixture: Application to image denoising.
PURPOSE This work describes a spatially variant mixture model constrained by a Markov random field to model high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data. Mixture models suit HARDI well because the attenuation by diffusion is inherently a mixture. The goal is to create a general model that can be used in different applications. This study focuses on image denoising and segmentation (pr...
