Q-ball reconstruction of multimodal fiber orientations using the spherical harmonic basis.
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) accurately delineates white matter pathways when the Gaussian model of diffusion is valid. However, DTI yields erroneous results when diffusion takes on a more complex distribution, as is the case in the brain when fiber tracts cross. High angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) overcomes this limitation of DTI by more fully characterizing the angular depende...
متن کاملAn Analytical Model of Water Diffusion and Exchange in White Matter from Diffusion MRI and Its Application in Measuring Axon Radii
We present an analytical model of water diffusion and exchange in white matter for estimating axon radii. Estimates of direct microstructural features such as axon radii, density, and permeability are important for early disease detection. Our model for white matter has two compartments between which there is an exchange of water molecules. Our analytical formulas examine the derivation of micr...
متن کاملNonparametric Bayesian inference of the fiber orientation distribution from diffusion-weighted MR images
Diffusion MR imaging provides a unique tool to probe the microgeometry of nervous tissue and to explore the wiring diagram of the neural connections noninvasively. Generally, a forward model is established to map the intra-voxel fiber architecture onto the observable diffusion signals, which is reformulated in this article by adopting a measure-theoretic approach. However, the inverse problem, ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo approach to nuclei and nuclear matter
We report on the most recent applications of the Auxiliary Field Diffusion Monte Carlo (AFDMC) method. The equation of state (EOS) for pure neutron matter in both normal and BCS phase and the superfluid gap in the low–density regime are computed, using a realistic Hamiltonian containing the Argonne AV8’ plus Urbana IX three–nucleon interaction. Preliminary results for the EOS of isospin–asymmet...
متن کاملProbabilistic fiber tracking using the residual bootstrap with constrained spherical deconvolution.
Constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD) is a new technique that, based on high-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) MR data, estimates the orientation of multiple intravoxel fiber populations within regions of complex white matter architecture, thereby overcoming the limitations of the widely used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique. One of its main applications is fiber tractogr...
