Tractography via the Ensemble Average Propagator in Diffusion MRI
It's well known that in diffusion MRI (dMRI), fibre crossing is an important problem for most existing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based tractography algorithms. To overcome these limitations, High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI) based tractography has been proposed with a particular emphasis on the the Orientation Distribution Function (ODF). In this paper, we advocate the use ...
متن کاملBeyond Crossing Fibers: Tractography Exploiting Sub-voxel Fibre Dispersion and Neighbourhood Structure
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm which leverages models of white matter fibre dispersion to improve tractography. Tractography methods exploit directional information from diffusion weighted magnetic resonance (DW-MR) imaging to infer connectivity between different brain regions. Most tractography methods use a single direction (e.g. the principal eigenvector of the diffusion tensor) ...
متن کاملEstimating uncertainty in multiple fibre reconstructions
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that allows us to probe the microstructure of materials. The standard technique in diffusion MRI is diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). However, DTI can only model a single fibre orientation and fails in regions of complex microstructure. Multiple-fibre algorithms aim to overcome this limitation of DTI, but there remain many questions about ...
متن کاملAddressing the Problem of Path-length Dependency in Probabilistic Tractography – the Ice-t Framework
Introduction Probabilistic tractography [1] affords a potentially quantitative method for non-invasively generating a “connection probability map”, a frequency measure of successful vs. attempted fibre-tracking trials to remote brain areas from a given seed region. However, one of the limitations with the approach is that of path-length dependency, where the values thus produced are modulated b...
متن کاملND-Track: Tractography utilising parametric models of white matter fibre orientation dispersion
Target audience: Researchers in the field of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging interested in new tractography methods. Purpose: This work develops a tractography algorithm to leverage fibre dispersion estimates derived from fitting parametric models of orientation dispersion to diffusion data. Tractography techniques are powerful tools to probe white matter (WM) connectivity non-inv...
