Insights from the IronTract challenge: Optimal methods for mapping brain pathways from multi-shell diffusion MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Elda Fischi Gomez, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Thomas Yu, Marco Pizzolato, Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet

Limitations in the accuracy of brain pathways reconstructed by diffusion MRI (dMRI) tractography have received considerable attention. While the technical advances spearheaded by the Human Connectome Project (HCP) led to significant improvements in dMRI da ...

A Signal Peak Separation Index for axisymmetric B-tensor encoding

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Marco Pizzolato, Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet, Benoît Macq

Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) has recently seen a rising interest in planar, spherical and general B-tensor encodings. Some of these sequences have aided traditional linear encoding in the estimation of white matter microstructural features, generally by ...

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, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Marco Pizzolato, 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 ...

Extra-axonal restricted diffusion as an in-vivo marker of reactive microglia

Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet, Anne des Rieux, Benoît Macq

Reactive microgliosis is an important pathological component of neuroinflammation and has been implicated in a wide range of brain diseases including brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. Mapping rea ...

In vivo diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of the white matter microstructure from dictionaries generated by Monte Carlo simulations: development and validation

Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet

Non-invasive virtual histology of white matter tissues is the ultimate promise of diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI). This hope is fueled by the exquisite sensitivity of DW-MRI to micrometer-scale displacement of diffusing water molecules, averaged over a who ...

Towards microstructure fingerprinting: Estimation of tissue properties from a dictionary of Monte Carlo diffusion MRI simulations

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet, Benoît Macq

Many closed-form analytical models have been proposed to relate the diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) signal to microstructural features of white matter tissues. These models generally make assumptions about the tissue and the diffusio ...
