Multidimensional Diffusion MRI Methods With Confined Subdomains

This work provides the basis for incorporating a model that takes confinement into account and possesses a diffusion time-dependence closer to that of restricted diffusion into two multidimensional diffusion MRI methods, and attempts to recover a confinement tensor distribution (CTD) on a human brain dataset.

Correlation tensor magnetic resonance imaging

A new framework for MR diffusion tensor distribution

A Monte Carlo scheme is used to synthesize realistic numerical diffusion tensor distribution (DTD) phantoms and invert the MR signal and a family of invariant parameters which characterize microscopic shape, size and orientation heterogeneity within a voxel are presented.

Estimation of free water-corrected microscopic fractional anisotropy

Simulations and in vivo acquisitions indicated that the FWE method may be a feasible technique for measuring microscopic fractional anisotropy and other indices with greater specificity to neural tissue characteristics than conventional methods.

Microstructure Imaging by Diffusion MRI

This chapter surveys the foundation for the diffusion MRI contrast, and discusses how it assumes features depending on the tissue microstructure and give examples of how these can be quantified.

Accuracy and precision of statistical descriptors obtained from multidimensional diffusion signal inversion algorithms

All inversion techniques share similar precision (except for a lower precision of the two‐dimensional Monte Carlo inversion) but differ in terms of accuracy, which is found to be significant in most systems investigated.

Orientationally invariant metrics of apparent compartment eccentricity from double pulsed field gradient diffusion experiments

A new framework to enable rotationally invariant estimation of double wave vector diffusion metrics (d‐PFG), and demonstrates rotational invariance when estimating compartment eccentricity, which is complementary to that of fractional anisotropy from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

Diffusional kurtosis imaging: The quantification of non‐gaussian water diffusion by means of magnetic resonance imaging

From the study of six healthy adult subjects, the excess diffusional kurtosis is found to be significantly higher in white matter than in gray matter, reflecting the structural differences between these two types of cerebral tissues.

Diffusion time dependence of microstructural parameters in fixed spinal cord

Multidimensional diffusion MRI.

MRI quantification of non‐Gaussian water diffusion by kurtosis analysis

It is argued that the diffusional kurtosis is sensitive to diffusional heterogeneity and suggested that DKI may be useful for investigating ischemic stroke and neuropathologies, such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.

Effective medium theory of a diffusion‐weighted signal

A general approach to quantify the medium heterogeneity when it is much finer than the sample size or the imaging resolution is developed, based on the treatment of the medium statistically in terms of the correlation functions of the local parameters.

Equivalence of double and single wave vector diffusion contrast at low diffusion weighting

It is shown that, under many circumstances, the same type of information can be obtained by combining two or more standard single pulse diffusion‐weighted experiments acquired at different diffusion times.
