Diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging (DSI) tractography of crossing fibers

MRI tractography is the mapping of neural fiber pathways based on diffusion MRI of tissue diffusion anisotropy. Tractography based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) cannot directly image multiple fiber orientations within a single voxel. To address this li ...

Thalamic nuclei clustering on High Angular Resolution Diffusion Images

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Patric Hagmann, Leila Cammoun, Azzurra Grassi

Thalamic nuclei can be distinguished by their characteristic fiber orientations, which influence the diffusion. Fiber orientations are relatively aligned within a nucleus due to the fact that the cerebrocortical striations within a nucleus all target the s ...

Singlet states open the way to longer time-scales in the measurement of diffusion by NMR spectroscopy

Paul Romeo Vasos, Simone Cavadini

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a powerful nonintrusive technique for measuring diffusion coefficients through the use of pulsed field gradients. The main limitation to the application range of this method is imposed by the relaxation time constants of the m ...

Monte Carlo ICRH simulations in fully shaped anisotropic plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Stephan Brunner, Martin Jucker, Nicolas Mellet

This work shows a self-consistent numerical model of ion cyclotron resonant heating (ICRH) in a plasma of arbitrary (2D or 3D) geometry. Effects of anisotropy and full shaping on both MHD equilibrium and the dielectric tensor are explored. In particular, i ...

Fast-Marching Tractography for Connection Matrix (Fast-TraC)

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Patric Hagmann, Leila Cammoun, Xavier Gigandet

Although high angular resolution diffusion MRI techniques are able to solve multiple intra-voxel fiber orientations, the usual streamline Diffusion Spectrum Imaging (DSI) tractography algorithms present some limitations in their ability to map complex fibe ...

Mapping the Structural Core of Human Cerebral Cortex

Reto Meuli, Patric Hagmann, Leila Cammoun, Xavier Gigandet, Olaf Sporns

Structurally segregated and functionally specialized regions of the human cerebral cortex are interconnected by a dense network of cortico-cortical axonal pathways. Using diffusion spectrum imaging we noninvasively map these pathways within and across cort ...

Single or triple gradients?

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar, Fabien Ferrage

Pulsed Field Gradients (PFGs) have become ubiquitous tools not only for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), but also for NMR experiments designed to study translational diffusion, for spatial encoding in ultra-fast spectroscopy, for the selection of desirabl ...

Design of a multi-scale canine-specific model of cardiac electromechanics : a step toward patient-specific modeling

Vincent Forster

Motivated by the growing wealth of biological data and the increasing pathophysiological knowledge at different scales, spectacular progress have been made in comprehensive modeling to understand the complex nature of biological organs, such as the heart. ...

Metabolic changes in the normal ageing brain: Consistent findings from short and long echo time proton spectroscopy

Objectives: Sixty three healthy subjects were measured to assess dependence of brain metabolites on age using short- and long echo time spectroscopy in different brain regions. Material and methods: Younger and elderly humans were measured with long echo t ...

A Surface-based approach to Quantify Local Cortical Gyrification

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Marie Schaer, François Lazeyras

The high complexity of cortical convolutions in humans remains a mystery for both engineers to measure and compare it, and for biologists to understand it. We developed a method for the quantification of the cortical area allowed by the process of folding. ...
