Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging tractography in cognitive disorders [PDF]
Purpose of Review: The advent of novel techniques for tracing connections in vivo, such as diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging tractography, allows us, for the first time in the human brain, to study the microstructural integrity of white matter ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To jointly reconstruct high‐resolution diffusion‐weighted volumes and eliminate slab‐boundary artifacts while preserving fine anatomical detail from undersampled 3D multi‐slab k‐space acquisitions. Methods A bilinear forward model was formulated to describe the 3D multi‐slab acquisition, treating the image volume and slab excitation ...

Usefulness of Diffusion Tensor Tractography in Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery
This study was conducted to assess the clinical relevance of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) in pre- and post-operative evaluations of childhood epilepsy surgery.Seventy-two patients who received epilepsy surgery between March 2004 and July 2008 were retrospectively analyzed (M : F=40 : 32, ages of 3 months to 24 years, mean age=8.9 years). DTT was

Multi-tensor fixel-based metrics in tractometry: application to multiple sclerosis
Traditional Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) metrics are affected by crossing fibers and lesions. Most of the previous tractometry works use the single diffusion tensor, which leads to limited sensitivity and challenging interpretation of the results in ...

DDSurfer reconstructs cortical surfaces directly from diffusion MRI without requiring T1‐weighted scans. By fusing complementary microstructural features and learning diffeomorphic deformations, it efficiently generates accurate white matter and pial surfaces, improving geometric fidelity and morphometric reliability across datasets for robust surface ...

Different patterns of white matter degeneration using multiple diffusion indices and volumetric data in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer patients [PDF]
Alzheimeŕs disease (AD) represents the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder that causes cognitive decline in old age. In its early stages, AD is associated with microstructural abnormalities in white matter (WM).

Challenges of the Anatomy and Diffusion Tensor Tractography of the Meyer Loop [PDF]
This review addresses the complex and often controversial anatomy of the anterior bundle of the OR, also known as the Meyer loop. Before the advent of MR imaging, 2 main types of studies attempted to ascertain the "safe" distance for anterior temporal lobe resection to avoid postsurgical VFDs.

Stability effects on results of diffusion tensor imaging analysis by reduction of the number of gradient directions due to motion artifacts: an application to presymptomatic Huntington's disease. [PDF]
In diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), an improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the fractional anisotropy (FA) maps can be obtained when the number of recorded gradient directions (GD) is increased.
