DWI Simulation-Assisted Machine Learning Models for Microstructure Estimation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Marco Pizzolato, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Thomas Yu, Muhamed Barakovic

Diffusion MRI (DW-MRI) allows for the detailed exploration of the brain white matter microstructure, with applications in both research and the clinic. However, state-of-the-art methods for microstructure estimation suffer from known limitations, such as t ...

On the intrahemispheric connectivity of the monkey: a diffusion tractography and tract tracing analysis

Gabriel Girard, Maxime Descoteaux, Giorgio Innocenti

In this work, we compare diffusion tractography with neuronal retrograde tract tracing of the frontal, cingulate and parietal areas of the monkey. In this work, we compare diffusion tractography with neuronal retrograde tract tracing of the frontal, cingul ...

Towards quantitative brain connectomics: microstructure informed tractography via convex optimization

Muhamed Barakovic

Tractography is the only non-invasive technique which is used to reconstruct the white mat- ter structural connectivity of the human brain. It relies on a specific Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) acquisition, called diffusion MRI, which is sensitive to th ...

Is it feasible to directly access the bundle’s specific myelin content, instead of averaging? A study with Microstructure Informed Tractography

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Alessandro Daducci

Diffusion MRI connectometry is a widely used tool to investigate features of structural connectomes that reflect differences in white matter tracks integrity. It consists in averaging microstructural tissues properties (obtained from any voxel-wise map) al ...

Sparse wars: A survey and comparative study of spherical deconvolution algorithms for diffusion MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, David Paul Roger Romascano, Marco Pizzolato, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet

Spherical deconvolution methods are widely used to estimate the brain's white-matter fiber orientations from diffusion MRI data. In this study, eight spherical deconvolution algorithms were implemented and evaluated. These included two model selection tech ...

Graph Spectral Analysis Of Voxel-Wise Brain Graphs From Diffusion-Weighted Mri

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Hamid Behjat, Anjali Bagunu Tarun

Non-invasive characterization of brain structure has been made possible by the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Graph modeling of structural connectivity has been useful, but is often limited to defining nodes as regions from a brain atlas ...

Accelerating Multi-Echo GRASE with CAIPIRINHA for Fast and High-Resolution Myelin Water Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Marco Pizzolato, Gian Franco Piredda, Reto Meuli

Impaired myelin plays a central role in a wide range of degenerative brain diseases. A method for non-invasive and in vivo assessment of myelin content within clinically acceptable acquisition times is thus desirable. In this work, a 3D multi-echo gradient ...

Limits to anatomical accuracy of diffusion tractography using modern approaches

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, David Paul Roger Romascano, Elda Fischi Gomez, Marco Pizzolato, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Maxime Descoteaux, Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet, Alice Philippa Bates, Tim Bjørn Dyrby, Chao Huang

Diffusion MRI fiber tractography is widely used to probe the structural connectivity of the brain, with a range of applications in both clinical and basic neuroscience. Despite widespread use, tractography has well-known pitfalls that limits the anatomical ...

Validation strategies for the interpretation of microstructure imaging using diffusion MRI

Giorgio Innocenti, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Extracting microanatomical information beyond the image resolution of MRI would provide valuable tools for diagnostics and neuroscientific research. A number of mathematical models already suggest microstructural interpretations of diffusion MRI (dMRI) dat ...

Reducing false positives in tractography with microstructural and anatomical priors

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Maxime Descoteaux

Tractography has proven particularly effective for studying noninvasively the neuronal architecture of the brain but recent studies have showed that the high incidence of false positives can significantly bias any connectivity analysis. We present a novel ...
