Brain metabolites, such as N-acetylaspartate or myo-inositol, are constantly probing their local cellular environment under the effect of diffusion. Diffusion-weighted NMR spectroscopy therefore presents unparalleled potential to yield…
Mapping tissue microstructure accurately and noninvasively is one of the frontiers of biomedical imaging. Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is at the forefront of such efforts, as it is capable of reporting on microscopic…
Double diffusion encoding (DDE) magnetic resonance measurements of the water signal offers a unique ability to separate the effect of microscopic anisotropic diffusion in structural units of tissue from the overall macroscopic orientational…
This paper investigates the impact of cell body (soma) size and branching of cellular projections on diffusion MR imaging (dMRI) and spectroscopy (dMRS) signals for both standard single diffusion encoding (SDE) and more advanced double…
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for noninvasive studies of micrometer-scale structures in biological tissues via their effects on the time/frequency-dependent ("restricted") and anisotropic self-diffusion of water.…
Purpose: Oscillating gradient spin-echo (OGSE) diffusion MRI provides information about the microstructure of biological tissues via the frequency dependence of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). ADC dependence on OGSE frequency has…
MRI provides a unique non-invasive window into the brain, yet is limited to millimeter resolution, orders of magnitude coarser than cell dimensions. Here we show that diffusion MRI is sensitive to the micrometer-scale variations in axon…
Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) is one of the most important contemporary non-invasive modalities for probing tissue structure at the microscopic scale. The majority of dMRI techniques employ standard single diffusion encoding…
We suggest to utilize the rich information content about microstructural tissue properties entangled in asymmetric balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) profiles to estimate multiple diffusion metrics simultaneously by neural…
Designing novel diffusion-weighted pulse sequences to probe tissue microstructure beyond the conventional Stejskal-Tanner family is currently of broad interest. One such technique, multidimensional diffusion MRI, has been recently proposed…
Purpose: To investigate the effect of anisotropic magnetic microstructure on the measurable Larmor frequency offset in media with heterogeneous magnetic susceptibility. Specific objectives were (i) validation of recently developed theory…
Diffusion MRI may enable non-invasive mapping of axonal microstructure. Most approaches infer axon diameters from effects of time-dependent diffusion on the diffusion-weighted MR signal by modelling axons as straight cylinders. Axons do…
A new method to investigate anomalous diffusion in human brain is proposed. The method has been inspired by both the stretched-exponential model proposed by Hall and Barrick (HB) and DTI. Quantities extracted using HB method were able to…
Measuring fibre dispersion in white matter with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is limited by an inherent degeneracy between fibre dispersion and microscopic diffusion anisotropy (i.e., the diffusion anisotropy expected for a…
Early diagnosis and noninvasive monitoring of neurological disorders require sensitivity to elusive cellular-level alterations that occur much earlier than volumetric changes observable with the millimeter-resolution of medical imaging…
Data-dependent metrics are powerful tools for learning the underlying structure of high-dimensional data. This article develops and analyzes a data-dependent metric known as diffusion state distance (DSD), which compares points using a…
We analyze the frequency dependence of the dispersion measure (DM), the column density of free electrons to a pulsar, caused by multipath scattering from small scale electron-density fluctuations. The DM is slightly different along each…
The nonlinear response of molecular systems undergoing Markovian stochastic reorientations is calculated up to fifth order in the amplitude of the external field. Time-dependent perturbation theory is used to compute the relevant response…
