Improved reproducibility of diffusion kurtosis imaging using regularized non-linear optimization informed by artificial neural networks [PDF]
Diffusion kurtosis imaging is an extension of diffusion tensor imaging that provides scientifically and clinically valuable information about brain tissue microstructure but suffers from poor robustness to noise, especially in voxels containing tightly packed aligned axons.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Anxiety Disorders
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be used to examine the structural integrity of regional white matter and to map white matter tracts. DTI studies have been performed in several psychiatric disorders, especially in those for which a developmental or a neuropsychiatric component was postulated.

Bayesian regularization of diffusion tensor images [PDF]
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a powerful tool in the study of the course of nerve fiber bundles in the human brain. Using DTI, the local fiber orientation in each image voxel can be described by a diffusion tensor which is constructed from local measurements of diffusion coefficients along several directions. The measured diffusion coefficients and

Introduction to Brain and Medical Images [PDF]
This article is based on the first chapter of book Chung (2013), where brain and medical images are introduced. The most widely used brain imaging modalities are magnetic resonance images (MRI), functional-MRI (fMRI) and diffusion tensor images (DTI). A brief introduction to each imaging modality is explained.

MR diffusion tensor spectroscopy and imaging
This paper describes a new NMR imaging modality--MR diffusion tensor imaging. It consists of estimating an effective diffusion tensor, Deff, within a voxel, and then displaying useful quantities derived from it. We show how the phenomenon of anisotropic diffusion of water (or metabolites) in anisotropic tissues, measured noninvasively by these NMR ...

Generalized diffusion tensor imaging and analytical relationships between diffusion tensor imaging and high angular resolution diffusion imaging [PDF]
AbstractA new method for mapping diffusivity profiles in tissue is presented. The Bloch‐Torrey equation is modified to include a diffusion term with an arbitrary rank Cartesian tensor. This equation is solved to give the expression for the generalized Stejskal‐Tanner formula quantifying diffusive attenuation in complicated geometries.

Highlight Specular Reflection Separation based on Tensor Low-rank and Sparse Decomposition Using Polarimetric Cues [PDF]
This paper is concerned with specular reflection removal based on tensor low-rank decomposition framework with the help of polarization information. Our method is motivated by the observation that the specular highlight of an image is sparsely distributed while the remaining diffuse reflection can be well approximated by a linear combination of several
