Effect of oral appliances on genioglossus muscle tonicity seen with diffusion tensor imaging: a pilot study.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine whether the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique can be used as a modality to represent the structural deformation in the in vivo genioglossus (GG) muscle fibers with oral appliances (OAs). STUDY DESIGN Three healthy subjects were recruited for the pilot study. A custom-made OA, which is modified from a tongue retaining device (TRD), was ...
متن کاملApplication of diffusion tensor imaging after glossectomy.
Difficulty in visualizing the intricate architecture of the tongue has limited our understanding of its function during speech, mastication, and swallowing, as well as its adaptation to surgical procedures. Tractography visualization using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a semiautomatic technique, can detect and display the spatial distribution of the muscle fiber bundle orientations as three-d...
متن کاملMapping complex myoarchitecture in the bovine tongue with diffusion-spectrum magnetic resonance imaging.
The ability to resolve complex fiber populations in muscular tissues is important for relating tissue structure with mechanical function. To address this issue in the case of tongue, we employed diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI), an MRI method for determining three-dimensional myoarchitecture where myofiber populations are variably aligned. By specifically varying gradient field strength, molecu...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of three-dimensional-resolved fiber architecture in heterogeneous skeletal muscle tissue using nmr and optical imaging methods.
The determination of principal fiber directions in structurally heterogeneous biological tissue substantially contributes to an understanding of its mechanical function in vivo. In this study we have depicted structural heterogeneity through the model of the mammalian tongue, a tissue comprised of a network of highly interwoven fibers responsible for producing numerous variations of shape and p...
متن کاملGenioglossus and intrinsic electromyographic activities in impeded and unimpeded protrusion tasks.
Eight muscles invest the human tongue: four extrinsic muscles have external origins and insert into the tongue body and four intrinsic muscles originate and terminate within the tongue. Previously, we noted minimal activation of the genioglossus tongue muscle during impeded protrusion tasks (i.e., having subjects push the tongue against a force transducer), suggesting that other muscles play a ...
