Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Motor impairments occur in most of the
patients with stroke in the acute phase and contribute substantially to disability. Diffusion …

There is much interest in translating neuroimaging findings into meaningful clinical
diagnostics. The goal of scientific discoveries differs from clinical diagnostics. Scientific …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance modality that permits to characterize
the orientation and integrity of white matter (WM). DTI-based tractography techniques …

Background: Childhood-onset dystonia is often progressive and severely impairs a child´ s
life. The pathophysiology is very heterogeneous and treatment responses vary in patients …

It is now common for magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) based multi-site trials to include
diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) as part of the protocol. It is also common for these sites to …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the integrity of the corticospinal tracts (CST) in
patients with SCA3 and age-and gender-matched healthy control subjects using diffusion …

Large multi-site studies that combine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data across
research sites present exceptional opportunities to advance neuroscience research …

Multi-parametric tissue characterisation is demonstrated using a 4-minute protocol based on
diffusion trace acquisitions. Three diffusion regimes are covered simultaneously: pseudo …

Purpose Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) has been widely used to characterize brain tissue
alterations. Diffusion-weighting factor or b value plays an important role in the measurement …

The previous chapter discussed the diffusion-tensor imaging protocol for obtaining
consistent region-wise FA at the brain grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM). This chapter …
