Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), is an imaging modality that yields novel disease biomarkers and in combination with nervous tissue modeling, provides access to microstructural parameters. Recently, DKI and subsequent estimation of…
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE- MRI) is a widely used multi-phase technique routinely used in clinical practice. DCE and similar datasets of dynamic medical data tend to contain redundant information on the…
Over the last years, increasing evidence has fuelled the hypothesis that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition of altered brain functional connectivity. The great majority of these empirical studies rely on functional magnetic…
Dispersion is a common phenomenon in optics due to the frequency dependence of the refractive index in polychromatic light. This issue, if left untreated in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, leads to signal broadening of the…
Brain cell structure and function reflect neurodevelopment, plasticity and ageing, and changes can help flag pathological processes such as neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. Accurate and quantitative methods to non-invasively…
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides crucial insights into the microstructure of the human brain, but it can be time-consuming to acquire compared to more readily available T1-weighted (T1w) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To address…
We review, systematize and discuss models of diffusion in neuronal tissue, by putting them into an overarching physical context of coarse-graining over an increasing diffusion length scale. From this perspective, we view research on…
Treatment planning, which is a critical component of the radiotherapy workflow, is typically carried out by a medical physicist in a time-consuming trial-and-error manner. Previous studies have proposed knowledge-based or…
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a type of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique sensitised to the diffusivity of water molecules, offering the capability to inspect tissue microstructures and is the only in-vivo method to…
The human brain constitutes 2% of the total body mass, but consumes 20% of the oxygen. The rate of the brain's oxygen utilization can be determined from the knowledge of cerebral blood flow and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF). Therefore,…
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common psychiatric disorder with a lifetime prevalence of 2-3 percent. Recently, brain activity in the resting state is gathering attention as a new means of exploring altered functional connectivity…
Traveling-wave optical coherence elastography (OCE) is a promising technique to measure the stiffness of biological tissues. While OCE has been applied to relatively homogeneous samples, tissues with significantly varying elasticity through…
Preclinical diffusion MRI (dMRI) has proven value in methods development and validation, characterizing the biological basis of diffusion phenomena, and comparative anatomy. While dMRI enables in vivo non-invasive characterization of…
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…
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is a non-invasive way of imaging white matter tracts in the human brain. DW-MRIs are usually acquired using echo-planar imaging (EPI) with high gradient fields, which could introduce…
Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is a measure of the magnitude of diffusion of water molecules within tissues. We argue that ADC value contains information of both diffusion and T2 relaxation. In this letter, we list literature evidence…
Cortical thickness measurements from magnetic resonance imaging, an important biomarker in many neurodegenerative and neurological disorders, are derived by many tools from an initial voxel-wise tissue segmentation. White matter (WM)…
Ischemic stroke, caused by cerebral vessel occlusion, presents substantial challenges in medical imaging due to the variability and subtlety of stroke lesions. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing…
Diffusion pore imaging is an extension of diffusion-weighted nuclear magnetic resonance imaging enabling the direct measurement of the shape of arbitrarily formed, closed pores by probing diffusion restrictions using the motion of…
Purpose: Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps derived from diffusion weighted (DWI) MRI provides functional measurements about the water molecules in tissues. However, DWI is time consuming and very susceptible to image artifacts,…
