Early Detection of Widespread Progressive Brain Injury after Cardiac Arrest: A Single Case DTI and Post-Mortem Histology Study
OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis in sense of a proof of principle that white matter (WM) degeneration after cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) can be assessed much earlier by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) than by conventional MRI. METHODS We performed DTI and T2-weighted FLAIR imaging over four serial acquisitions of a 76-year-old man with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome at day 41, 75, 173 and...

Background and Aim: Post-mortem structural changes in tissues cause technical difficulties in accurate histo-pathologic interpretation. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of microwave irradiation before tissue fixation on preventing post mortem autolysis and accelerating the process of tissue fixation in the kidneys. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four chickens randomly were divide...
متن کاملThe Benefits and implementations of Diffusion tensor imaging and Neural Fiber Tractography in Brain Surgery
Background and Aim: The methods for detecting brain activation with fMRI, MRI provides a way to measure the anatomical connections which enable lightning-fast communication among neurons that specialize in different kinds of brain functions. Diffusion tensor imaging is able to measure the direction of bundles of the axonal fibers which are all aligned. Besides mapping white matter fiber tracts,...
متن کاملInsights into the Connectivity of the Human Brain Using DTI
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a neuroimaging MR technique, which allows in vivo and non-destructive visualization of myeloarchitectonics in the neural tissue and provides quantitative estimates of WM integrity by measuring molecular diffusion. It is based on the phenomenon of diffusion anisotropy in the nerve tissue, in that water molecules diffuse faster along the neural fibre direction an...
متن کاملHistological validation of high-resolution DTI in human post mortem tissue
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is amongst the simplest mathematical models available for diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, yet still by far the most used one. Despite the success of DTI as an imaging tool for white matter fibers, its anatomical underpinnings on a microstructural basis remain unclear. In this study, we used 65 myelin-stained sections of human premotor cortex to validate mode...
