Diffusion Tensor Imaging

125/19/2015 Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) MR signal is attenuated as a result of diffusion Brownian motion in the presence of gradients Gradients are applied in different directions and attenuation is measured DTI reconstruction using linear system solution

135/19/2015 Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Mobility in a given direction is described by ADC The tissue diffusivity is described by the tensor D The diffusion equation Diffusion is represented by a 3  3 tensor* * P. Basser and D. Jone, NMR in Biomedicine, 2002.

DTI-Based Connectivity Mapping

195/19/2015 DTI-Based Connectivity Mapping Nerve fibers represent cylindrical-shaped physical spaces with membrane acting like a barrier DT shows diffusion preference along axon Measuring the diffusing anisotropy, we can estimate the dominant direction of the nerve bundle passing through each voxel * X.

215/19/2015 Limitations * Inaccuracy of Single Tensor Estimation due to Intravoxel Orientational Heterogeneity (IVOH). Contribution from multiple tensors. Limited signal to noise Ratio. There may not be a single predominant direction of water diffusion. Afferent and efferent pathways of axonal fiber tracts cannot be judged. * S.. Mori et. al, NMR IN BIOMEDICINE, 2002.

225/19/2015 Problem Statement Partial voluming is common in practice Attenuation due to multi-component diffusion when applying a gradient defined by the diffusion direction is given by, It is required to estimate the component tensor and their partial volume ratios 13 unknown for a 2-component model without loss of generality.
