Evaluation for MTBI and DAI by using Voxel-Based Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Introduction: In Japan, there are approximately 280,000 new cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, with at least 80% being classified as mild. The diagnosis and management of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) continues to be the subject of debate, with varying opinions regarding the extent to which organically based impairments vs the impact of other stressors cause ongoing disabilit...
متن کاملComputation of axonal elongation in head trauma finite element simulation.
In the case of head trauma, elongation of axons is thought to result in brain damage and to lead to Diffuse Axonal Injuries (DAI). Mechanical parameters have been previously proposed as DAI metric. Typically, brain injury parameters are expressed in terms of pressure, shearing stresses or invariants of the strain tensor. Addressing axonal deformation within the brain during head impact can impr...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relationship between axon injury and clinical symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis using diffusion tensor MRI imaging
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that shows detailed anatomical and pathological images. It is often used for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring, in particular with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, conventional MRI provides only qualitative inf...
متن کاملStroke assessment with diffusional kurtosis imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite being the gold standard technique for stroke assessment, conventional diffusion MRI provides only partial information about tissue microstructure. Diffusional kurtosis imaging is an advanced diffusion MRI method that yields, in addition to conventional diffusion information, the diffusional kurtosis, which may help improve characterization of tissue microstructure...
