Negative-contrast neurography: Imaging the extracranial facial nerve and its branches using contrast-enhanced variable flip angle turbo spin echo MRI [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Background and Purpose: Various 'positive-contrast' neurographic methods have been investigated for imaging the extracranial course of the facial nerve. However, nerve visibility can be inconsistent with these sequences and may depend on the composition of the parotid gland, limiting consistent identification.

Spotlight on nerves: Portable multispectral optoacoustic imaging of peripheral nerve vascularization and morphology [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Various morphological and functional parameters of peripheral nerves and their vascular supply are indicative of pathological changes due to injury or disease. Based on recent improvements in optoacoustic image quality, we explore the ability of multispectral optoacoustic tomography, in tandem with ultrasound imaging (OPUS), to investigate the vascular

AxoNet: an AI-based tool to count retinal ganglion cell axons [PDF]
Sci Rep 10, 8034 (2020), 2019 Goal: In this work, we develop a robust, extensible tool to automatically and accurately count retinal ganglion cell axons in images of optic nerve tissue from various animal models of glaucoma. Methods: The U-Net convolutional neural network architecture was adapted to learn pixelwise axon count density estimates, which were then integrated over the ...
