Estimation of free water-corrected microscopic fractional anisotropy [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Water diffusion anisotropy MRI is sensitive to microstructural changes in the brain that are hallmarks of various neurological conditions. However, conventional metrics like fractional anisotropy are confounded by neuron fiber orientation dispersion, and

Potential Pitfalls of Using Fractional Anisotropy, Axial Diffusivity, and Radial Diffusivity as Biomarkers of Cerebral White Matter Microstructure. [PDF]
Front Neurosci, 2021 Fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD) are commonly used as MRI biomarkers of white matter microstructure in diffusion MRI studies of neurodevelopment, brain aging, and neurologic injury/disease.

An Introduction to Kurtosis Fractional Anisotropy. [PDF]
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol, 2019 Neuroradiology and imaging-based diagnostics in general have a dire need for scan techniques with improved microstructural sensitivity for detection of subtle tissue alterations in early disease phases or for diagnostics of diseases that are currently ...

Predicting aging trajectories of decline in brain volume, cortical thickness and fractional anisotropy in schizophrenia. [PDF]
Schizophrenia (Heidelb), 2023 Brain-age prediction is a novel approach to assessing deviated brain aging trajectories in different diseases. However, most studies have used an average brain age gap (BAG) of individuals with schizophrenia of different illness durations for comparison ...

Race, Socioeconomic Status, and Cerebellum Cortex Fractional Anisotropy in Pre-Adolescents
Adolescents, 2021 Introduction: Cerebellum cortex fractional anisotropy is a proxy of the integrity of the cerebellum cortex. However, less is known about how it is shaped by race and socioeconomic status (SES) indicators such as parental education and household income ...

Comprehensive analysis of early fractional anisotropy changes in acute ischemic stroke. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Cerebral ischemia leads to a rapid decrease of the apparent diffusion coefficient. For fractional anisotropy both increase and decrease have been reported in acute ischemic stroke.
