Diffusion tensor imaging and beyond [PDF]
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2011 The diffusion of water molecules inside organic tissues is often anisotropic (1). Namely, if there are aligned structures in the tissue, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water may vary depending on the orientation along which the diffusion-weighted (DW) measurements are taken.

Applied Sciences, 2021 A diffusion tensor models the covariance of the Brownian motion of water at a voxel and is required to be symmetric and positive semi-definite. Therefore, image processing approaches, designed for linear entities, are not effective for diffusion tensor ...

An error analysis of probabilistic fibre tracking methods: average curves optimization [PDF]
, 2009 Fibre tractography using diffusion tensor imaging is a promising method for estimating the pathways of white matter tracts in the human brain. The success of fibre tracking methods ultimately depends upon the accuracy of the fibre tracking algorithms and

Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Joubert Syndrome [PDF]
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2007 Neuropathologic findings and preliminary imaging studies demonstrated the absence of pyramidal tract and superior cerebellar peduncular decussation in individual patients with Joubert syndrome (JS). We hypothesized that functional-structural neuroimaging findings do not differ between the genetic forms of JS.MR imaging was performed with a 3T MR ...

Voxel-based clustered imaging by multiparameter diffusion tensor images for glioma grading
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2014 Gliomas are the most common intra-axial primary brain tumour; therefore, predicting glioma grade would influence therapeutic strategies. Although several methods based on single or multiple parameters from diagnostic images exist, a definitive method for
