    • Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme Using the Supertoroidal Model 

      Mekkaoui, Choukri; Metellus, Philippe; Kostis, William J.; Martuzzi, Roberto; Pereira, Fabricio R.; Beregi, Jean-Paul; Reese, Timothy G.; Constable, Todd R.; Jackowski, Marcel P. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Purpose Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a powerful imaging technique that has led to improvements in the diagnosis and prognosis of cerebral lesions and neurosurgical guidance for tumor resection. Traditional tensor ...
    • Dual-Phase Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging with Strain Correction 

      Stoeck, Christian T.; Kalinowska, Aleksandra; von Deuster, Constantin; Harmer, Jack; Chan, Rachel W.; Niemann, Markus; Manka, Robert; Atkinson, David; Sosnovik, David E.; Mekkaoui, Choukri; Kozerke, Sebastian (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Purpose In this work we present a dual-phase diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique that incorporates a correction scheme for the cardiac material strain, based on 3D myocardial tagging. Methods: In vivo dual-phase cardiac ...
    • Effects of Hormone Therapy on Brain Volumes Changes of Postmenopausal Women Revealed by Optimally-Discriminative Voxel-Based Morphometry 

      Zhang, Tianhao; Casanova, Ramon; Resnick, Susan M.; Manson, JoAnn E.; Baker, Laura D.; Padual, Claudia B.; Kuller, Lewis H.; Bryan, R. Nick; Espeland, Mark A.; Davatzikos, Christos (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Backgrounds The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WHIMS-MRI) provides an opportunity to evaluate how menopausal hormone therapy (HT) affects the structure of older women’s brains. Our earlier ...
    • Medial Frontal White and Gray Matter Contributions to General Intelligence 

      Ohtani, Toshiyuki; Nestor, Paul G.; Bouix, Sylvain; Saito, Yukiko; Hosokawa, Taiga; Kubicki, Marek (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The medial orbitofrontal cortex (mOFC) and rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) are part of a wider neural network that plays an important role in general intelligence and executive function. We used structural brain ...
    • Thalamic Volume Is Reduced in Cervical and Laryngeal Dystonias 

      Waugh, Jeff L.; Kuster, John K.; Levenstein, Jacob M.; Makris, Nikos; Multhaupt-Buell, Trisha J.; Sudarsky, Lewis R.; Breiter, Hans C.; Sharma, Nutan; Blood, Anne J. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Background: Dystonia, a debilitating movement disorder characterized by abnormal fixed positions and/or twisting postures, is associated with dysfunction of motor control networks. While gross brain lesions can produce ...
