If bulging or protruding intervertebral discs occupies the intervertebral foramen, and nerve roots are compressed. The cross-sectional area of nerve root fibers is reduced, fiber bundles gathered ...

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a newly developed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that analyzes the anatomy of nerve cells and a complex neuronal network of the brain. DTI technique was ...

Tractography based on diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is widely used for mapping the structural connections of the human brain. Its accuracy is known to be limited by technical factors affecting in vivo ...

Adding diffusion tensor imaging metrics to prognostic models can help clinicians more accurately predict outcomes for patients with mild traumatic brain injuries. Adding diffusion tensor imaging ...

What is diffusion tensor imaging? Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique designed to estimate the axonal organization of the brain via ...

Left: Study design. We analyzed dMRI data acquired from 17 patients with glaucoma and 30 healthy controls, and then compared the data with and without denoising. Right: Comparison between data with ...

Flipping through a pile of brain scans, a neurologist or psychiatrist would be hard pressed to pick out the one that belonged to a schizophrenic. Although schizophrenics suffer from profound mental ...

For decades, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) has been a powerful way to see inside the human brain. A specialized form, diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI), can measure tissue properties of fiber pathways ...
