Recovering the distribution from multi-echo magnetic resonance (MR) signals is challenging but has high potential as it provides biomarkers characterizing the tissue micro-structure, such as the myelin water fraction (MWF). In this work, we propose to comb ...

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 ...

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 ...

ActiveAx(ADD): Toward non-parametric and orientationally invariant axon diameter distribution mapping using PGSE

Jean-Philippe Thiran, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Purpose Non-invasive axon diameter distribution (ADD) mapping using diffusion MRI is an ill-posed problem. Current ADD mapping methods require knowledge of axon orientation before performing the acquisition. Instead, ActiveAx uses a 3D sampling scheme to e ...

HOTmix: characterizing hindered diffusion using a mixture of generalized higher order tensors

We present HOTmix, a new model to describe the diffusion MRI signal for molecules undergoing hindered diffusion. HOTmix is based on a mixture of generalized higher order tensors, explicitly incorporating the diffusion sequence’s time-dependent parameters. ...

Assessing feasibility and reproducibility of a bundle-specific framework on in vivo axon diameter estimates at 300mT/m

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, David Paul Roger Romascano, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Maxime Descoteaux, Giorgio Innocenti

In vivo quantitative estimation of axon diameter in the white matter could bring new tools to study the structural and functional architecture of the brain. Recently, the feasibility of axon diameter estimation with diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) has been ...

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 ...

The challenge of mapping the human connectome based on diffusion tractography

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Maxime Descoteaux, Alia Lemkaddem, Anna Auria Rasclosa, Ying-Chia Lin, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Tractography based on non-invasive diffusion imaging is central to the study of human brain connectivity. To date, the approach has not been systematically validated in ground truth studies. Based on a simulated human brain data set with ground truth tract ...
