Improving alignment in Tract-based spatial statistics: Evaluation and optimization of image registration
Anatomical alignment in neuroimaging studies is of such importance that considerable effort is put into improving the registration used to establish spatial correspondence. Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) is a popular method for comparing diffusion characteristics across subjects. TBSS establishes spatial correspondence using a combination of nonlinear registration and a "skeleton project...
متن کاملTract-Based Spatial Statistics of Diffusion MRI in Paediatric Multiple Sclerosis
Purpose Paediatric onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) is known to result in a slower accumulation of physical disability over time despite the higher relapse rate than adult-onset MS [1]. However, the mechanisms associated with POMS remain unclear. In this study we aim to investigate microstructural differences between paediatric MS patients and healthy control children using tract-space spatial s...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Pathological Processes and Clinical Forms in Multiple Sclerosis: a Tract Based Spatial Statistics Study
Introduction Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is characterized by demyelination, axonal damage, gliosis and often remyelination processes and can clinically appear either as relapsing-remitting (RR) phases of inflammation, sooner or later, followed by a secondary progressive (SP) period or directly as a primary progressive (PP) evolution which may constitute the clinical expression of a neurodegenerativ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Early White Matter Damages in Multiple Sclerosis patients with a Clinically Isolated Syndrome: a Tract Based Spatial Statistics Study
Introduction Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been recognized as a sensitive technique for detecting and quantifying pathological changes in lesions and normal appearing white matter (NAWM) [1]. However, it is usually constrained by an operator-dependant selection of brain regions of interest (ROI). With the emergence of the “tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS)” method [2], whole brain stat...
متن کاملSpinal Cord Analysis in People with Multiple Sclerosis
Background. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, inflammatory, and chronic disease which, under the effect of the wastes of myelin degradation occurs in the white matter of the brain, spinal cord, and visual nerves. The main complications of this disease are fatigue, muscle cramps, tremor, imbalance, and walking imbalance. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to investigate the spine ...
