Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging offers unique in vivo sensitivity to tissue microstructure in brain white matter, which undergoes significant changes during development and is compromised in virtually every neurological disorder. Yet,…
We develop a general analytical and numerical framework for estimating intra- and extra-neurite water fractions and diffusion coefficients, as well as neurite orientational dispersion, in each imaging voxel. By employing a set of rotational…
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…
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…
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging is an imaging technology designed to probe anatomical architectures of biological samples in an in vivo and non-invasive manner through measuring water diffusion. The contribution of this paper is…
Biophysical modeling is the mediator of evaluating the cellular structure of biological tissues using diffusion-weighted MRI. It is however the bottleneck of microstructural MRI. Beyond the complexity of diffusion, the current development…
Many developmental processes, such as plasticity and aging, or pathological processes such as neurological diseases are characterized by modulations of specific cellular types and their microstructures. Diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance…
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is the only non-invasive tool for studying white matter tracts and structural connectivity of the brain. These assessments rely heavily on tractography techniques, which reconstruct…
Estimating intra- and extra-axonal microstructure parameters, such as volume fractions and diffusivities, has been one of the major efforts in brain microstructure imaging with MRI. The Standard Model (SM) of diffusion in white matter has…
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a crucial non-invasive technique for exploring the microstructure of the living human brain. Traditional hand-crafted and model-based tissue microstructure reconstruction methods often require…
The development of automated tools for brain morphometric analysis in infants has lagged significantly behind analogous tools for adults. This gap reflects the greater challenges in this domain due to: 1) a smaller-scaled region of…
Diffusion-weighted MRI is the forerunner of the rapidly developed microstructural MRI aimed at in vivo evaluation of the cellular tissue architecture. This brief review focuses on the spatiotemporal scales of the microstructure that are…
Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exploits the anisotropic diffusion of water molecules in the brain to enable the estimation of the brain's anatomical fiber tracts at a relatively high resolution. In particular, tractographic…
Advanced diffusion MRI models are being explored to study the complex microstructure of the brain with higher accuracy. However, these techniques require long acquisition times. Simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) accelerates data acquisition by…
Brain age prediction serves as a powerful framework for assessing brain status and detecting deviations associated with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. However, most existing approaches emphasize whole-brain age…
Diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) is increasingly used to study the fetal brain in utero. An important computation enabled by dMRI is streamline tractography, which has unique applications such as tract-specific analysis…
