Diffusion Microscopist Simulator
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has made a significant breakthrough in neurological disorders and brain research thanks to its exquisite sensitivity to tissue cytoarchitecture. However, as the water diffusion process in neuronal tissues is a complex biophysical phenomena at molecular scale, it is difficult to infer tissue microscopic characteristics on a voxel scale from dMRI data. ...
متن کاملDiffusion Microscopist Simulator: A General Monte Carlo Simulation System for Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging
This article describes the development and application of an integrated, generalized, and efficient Monte Carlo simulation system for diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), named Diffusion Microscopist Simulator (DMS). DMS comprises a random walk Monte Carlo simulator and an MR image synthesizer. The former has the capacity to perform large-scale simulations of Brownian dynamics in the vi...
متن کاملAn Analytical Model of Water Diffusion and Exchange in White Matter from Diffusion MRI and Its Application in Measuring Axon Radii
We present an analytical model of water diffusion and exchange in white matter for estimating axon radii. Estimates of direct microstructural features such as axon radii, density, and permeability are important for early disease detection. Our model for white matter has two compartments between which there is an exchange of water molecules. Our analytical formulas examine the derivation of micr...
متن کاملAttenuation Correction in SPECT during Image Reconstruction using an Inverse Monte Carlo Method: A Simulation Study
Introduction: The main goal of SPECT imaging is to determine activity distribution inside the organs of the body. However, due to photon attenuation, it is almost impossible to do a quantitative study. In this paper, we suggest a mathematical relationship between activity distribution and its corresponding projections using a transfer matrix. Monte Carlo simulation was used to find a precise tr...
متن کاملRandom Walks in the Model Brain Tissue: Monte Carlo Simulations and Implications for Diffusion Imaging
Introduction Diffusion MRI gives rise to unique opportunities in brain diagnostics and has become an indispensable tool in clinical applications. Conventional methods are based on a simplified picture of Gaussian diffusion characteristic of non-confined liquids. However, more detailed experiments show that water in brain tissue tends to exhibit essential deviations from patterns of Gaussian dif...
