Multiparametric Characterization and Spatial Distribution of Different MS Lesion Phenotypes

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Gian Franco Piredda

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MS lesions exhibit varying degrees of axonal and myelin damage. A comprehensive description of lesion phenotypes could contribute to an improved radiologic evaluation of smoldering inflammation and remyelination processes. This stud ...

Clinical feasibility and validation of the accelerated T2 mapping sequence GRAPPATINI in brain imaging

Tom Hilbert

Rationale and objectives: To prospectively evaluate feasibility and robustness of an accelerated T2 mapping sequence (GRAPPATINI) in brain imaging and to assess its synthetic T2-weighted images (sT2w) in comparison with a standard T2-weighted sequence (T2 ...

Brain microstructural and functional MRI: developments and application to a rat model of Alzheimer's disease

Yujian Diao

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a valuable tool in investigating the pathological cascade of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its progression, which are still open questions. Although some MRI-derived hallmarks in terms of functional connectivity and ...

BMAT: An open-source BIDS managing and analysis tool

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Francesco La Rosa, Maxence Charles F Wynen, Benoît Macq

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an established technique to study in vivo neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). To avoid errors on MRI data organization and automated processing, a standard called Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) h ...

Deep learning-based analysis of multiple sclerosis lesions with high and ultra-high field MRI

Francesco La Rosa

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system and affects almost 3 million people worldwide. There is currently no cure for MS, and its symptoms, starting with fatigue and weakness, often progress over time ...

Quantitative Microstructural Imaging for Clinical Use

Gian Franco Piredda

Today, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a well-established medical imaging modality thanks to its excellent soft tissue contrast. Conventional MR image contrasts can be weighted towards one or more physical properties that discriminate different tissues ...

MPRAGE to MP2RAGE UNI translation via generative adversarial network improves the automatic tissue and lesion segmentation in multiple sclerosis patients

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Thomas Yu, Cristina Granziera, Francesco La Rosa

Background and objective: Compared to the conventional magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo imaging (MPRAGE) MRI sequence, the specialized magnetization prepared 2 rapid acquisition gradient echoes (MP2RAGE) shows a higher brain tissue and lesion con ...

In vivo macromolecule signals in rat brain 1 H‐MR spectra at 9.4T: Parametrization, spline baseline estimation, and T 2 relaxation times

Lijing Xin, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Bernard Lanz, Veronika Rackayová, Dunja Simicic

Purpose Reliable detection and fitting of macromolecules (MM) are crucial for accurate quantification of brain short-echo time (TE) 1H-MR spectra. An experimentally acquired single MM spectrum is commonly used. Higher spectral resolution at ultra-high fiel ...

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Quantification: From Kinetic Modeling To Machine Learning

Marcel Arditi

Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) have opened up immense diagnostic possibilities by combined use of indicator dilution principles and dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) imaging. UCAs are microbubbles encapsulated in a biocompatible shell. With ...
