Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is increasingly applied to study skeletal muscle physiology,
anatomy, and pathology. The reason for this growing interest is that DTI offers unique …

Computer models of the musculoskeletal system are broadly used to study the mechanisms
of musculoskeletal disorders and to simulate surgical treatments. Musculoskeletal models …

Diffusion‐tensor (DT) MRI fiber tracking may potentially be used for in vivo structural
analysis. The purpose of this study was to assess quantitatively the ability of a DT‐MRI fiber …

Formalin fixation of tissue is a common laboratory practice. A direct comparison of diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) parameters from mouse brains before (in vivo) and after (ex vivo) …

In this study, we have performed simulations to address the effects of diffusion encoding
parameters, signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and T2 on skeletal muscle diffusion tensor indices …

Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of in vivo calf muscle fiber tracking in human
subjects. Materials and Methods An EPI‐based diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) sequence with …

OBJECTIVE: We studied whether distal peripheral nerves could be imaged using
quantitative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with a 3-T MRI scanner, and visualized using …

Background. Loss of muscle mass and strength is a common symptom in the elderly
population. This is partly a result of the structural changes that occur during the aging …

The diffusive properties of adjacent muscles at rest were evaluated in male (n= 12) and
female (n= 12) subjects using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The principle, second and third …

The time dependence of the apparent diffusion tensor of ex vivo calf heart and tongue was
measured for diffusion times (τd) between 32 and 810 ms. The results showed evidence of …
