Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease characterized by a progressive
degeneration of motor neurons leading to paralysis. Our previous MRI diffusion tensor …

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 …

Fiber tractography is widely used to non-invasively map white-matter bundles in vivo using
diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). As it is the case for all scientific …

The development of co-electrospun (co-ES) hollow microfibrous assemblies of an
appreciable thickness is critical for many practical applications, including filtration …

Highly hydrophilic hollow polycaprolactone (PCL) microfibres were developed as building
elements to create tissue-mimicking test objects (phantoms) for validation of diffusion …

Hollow polymer microfibers with variable microstructural and hydrophilic properties were
proposed as building elements to create axon‐mimicking phantoms for validation of …

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is considered as a useful tool to study solid
tumours. However, the interpretation of dMRI signal and validation of quantitative …

Grey and white matter mimicking phantoms are important for assessing variations in
diffusion MR measures at a single time point and over an extended period of time. This work …

Objective. The use of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) opens the door to
characterizing brain microstructure because water diffusion is anisotropic in axonal fibres in …

Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has enabled the in vivo imaging of
structures with a highly fibrous composition, such as brain white matter due to the ability to …
