چکیده
s / Brain Stimulation 10 (2017) e46ee83 e57 independent diffusion encoding directions (b1⁄41000 s/mm2) and 5 unweighted images, with in-plane resolution of 2mmx2mmx2mm over the whole brain and TR/ TE1⁄47200/82ms. T1-weighted imaging was performed using a inversion-prepared fast spoiled gradient echo sequence, 1x1x1.2mm resolution over the whole brain.

DT-MRI Tractography and its Application in Cognitive Neuroscience
Recent advancement of MRI techniques and development of new methods of image analysis have allowed us to study large neural tracts within the human brain. This is based on the principle of diffusion tensor MRI that is similar to that of diffusion-weighted imaging but takes magnitude and direction of the diffusion of water into account. Using this technique we have been able to define large neur...

متن کاملDiffusion Tractography in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery: A Review
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is believed to exert its therapeutic effects through modulation of brain circuitry, yet conventional preoperative planning does not allow direct targeting or visualization of white matter pathways. Diffusion MRI tractography (DT) is virtually the only non-invasive method of visualizing structural connectivity in the brain, leading many to suggest its use to guide DB...

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,...
