FLAIR diffusion-tensor MR tractography: comparison of fiber tracking with conventional imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Partial volume with CSF is known to contaminate the quantification of white matter anisotropy depicted by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We hypothesized that the FLAIR technique helps to improve DTI white matter tractography in the normal adult brain by eliminating CSF partial volume effects. METHODS Seven healthy adults aged 23-37 underwent both conventional and FLAIR...
متن کاملCorrection of eddy current-induced artefacts in diffusion tensor imaging using iterative cross-correlation.
Geometric distortions of echo-planar images produced by the strong eddy currents present in the diffusion tensor imaging experiment are a major confound to the accurate quantification of diffusion coefficients, and measures of diffusion anisotropy based upon them. Here we investigate how the method of iterative cross-correlation (ICC) of baseline and diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) originally ...
متن کاملBias in Diffusion Tensor-Derived Quantities Depend on The Number of DWIs Composing The DT-MRI Dataset
Introduction Diffusion tensor eigenvalues and anisotropy indices derived from them, such as the fractional anisotropy (FA), are common metrics used in clinical MRI research. Understanding how experimental factors affect the statistical properties of these quantities is important for proper statistical analysis of DTI data. Mathematical simulations have shown that noise in the diffusion weighted...
متن کاملLong term effects of Gamma knife Radiosurgery for treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
Abstract Background: The Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKR) is an established management option for Cerebral Ar-teriovenous Malformations (AVMS). Therapeutic benefits of radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations are complete obliteration of nidus with minimal neurological deficit. Methods: Radiosurgery was performed between February 2003 and April 2010 at Kamraniye day clinic, Teh-ran, Iran, us...
متن کاملReducing Csf Partial Volume Effects to Enhance Diffusion Tensor Imaging Metrics of Brain Microstructure.
Technological advances over recent decades now allow for in vivo observation of human brain tissue through the use of neuroimaging methods. While this field originated with techniques capable of capturing macrostructural details of brain anatomy, modern methods such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) that are now regularly implemented in research protocols have the ability to characterize brain ...
