Pore size estimation in axon-mimicking microfibers with diffusion-relaxation MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Muhamed Barakovic, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate two distinct approaches for fiber radius estimation using diffusion-relaxation MRI data acquired in biomimetic microfiber phantoms that mimic hollow axons. The methods considered are the spherical mean power-law approac ...

Axial and radial axonal diffusivities and radii from single encoding strongly diffusion-weighted MRI

Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

We enable the estimation of the per-axon axial diffusivity from single encoding, strongly diffusion-weighted, pulsed gradient spin echo data. Additionally, we improve the estimation of the per-axon radial diffusivity compared to estimates based on spherica ...

Tractography passes the test: Results from the diffusion-simulated connectivity (disco) challenge

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Marco Pizzolato, Alonso Ramirez Manzanares, Juan Luis Villarreal Haro, Alessandro Daducci, Ying-Chia Lin, Sara Sedlar, Caio Seguin, Kenji Marshall, Yang Ji

Estimating structural connectivity from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a challenging task, partly due to the presence of false-positive connections and the misestimation of connection weights. Building on previous efforts, the MICCAI-CDMR ...

Does powder averaging remove dispersion bias in diffusion MRI diameter estimates within real 3D axonal architectures?

Marco Pizzolato, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Noninvasive estimation of axon diameter with diffusion MRI holds the potential to investigate the dynamic properties of the brain network and pathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies use powder averaging to account for complex white matter a ...

Variability and reproducibility of multi-echo T2 relaxometry: Insights from multi-site, multi-session and multi-subject MRI acquisitions

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Elda Fischi Gomez, Marco Pizzolato, Gian Franco Piredda, Thomas Yu, Takuya Morishita, Elena Beanato, Alessandro Daducci, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Chang-Hyun Park, Philipp Johannes Koch, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior, Julia Brügger

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) can increase the specificity and sensitivity of conventional weighted MRI to underlying pathology by comparing meaningful physical or chemical parameters, measured in physical units, with normative values acqu ...

Diffusion-relaxation scattered MR signal representation in a multi-parametric sequence

Marco Pizzolato

This work focuses on obtaining a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal representation that accounts for a longitudinal T-1 and transverse T-2* relaxations while at the same time integrating directional diffusion in the context of scattered multi-parametr ...

A Signal Peak Separation Index for axisymmetric B-tensor encoding

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Marco Pizzolato, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, 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 ...

Comparison of non-parametric T2 relaxometry methods for myelin water quantification

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Gian Franco Piredda, Thomas Yu, Alessandro Daducci, Nicolas Kunz

Multi-component T2 relaxometry allows probing tissue microstructure by assessing compartment-specific T2 relaxation times and water fractions, including the myelin water fraction. Non-negative least squares (NNLS) with zero-order Tikhonov regularization is ...

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 ...

Adaptive phase correction of diffusion-weighted images

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Marco Pizzolato, Maxime Descoteaux

Phase correction (PC) is a preprocessing technique that exploits the phase of images acquired in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to obtain real-valued images containing tissue contrast with additive Gaussian noise, as opposed to magnitude images which fol ...
