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