On Diffusion Tensor Estimation
(IEEE, 2006)
In this paper we propose a formal formulation for the estimation of Diffusion Tensors in the space of symmetric positive semidefinite (PSD) tensors. Traditionally, diffusion tensor model estimation has been carried out ...
Fiber geometry in the corpus callosum in schizophrenia: Evidence for transcallosal misconnection
(Elsevier BV, 2011)
Background—Structural abnormalities in the callosal fibers connecting the heteromodal association areas of the prefrontal and temporoparietal cortices bilaterally have been suggested to play a role in the etiology of ...
Increased diffusivity in superior temporal gyrus in patients with schizophrenia: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging study
(Elsevier BV, 2009)
Background: Superior temporal gyrus (STG) volume reduction is one of the most consistent findings in schizophrenia. The goal of this study was to conduct the first diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study to investigate altered ...
Uncinate fasciculus abnormalities in recent onset schizophrenia and affective psychosis: A diffusion tensor imaging study
(Elsevier BV, 2009)
Two of the most frequently investigated regions in diffusion tensor imaging studies in chronic schizophrenia are the uncinate fasciculus (UF) and cingulum bundle (CB). The purpose of the present study was to determine ...
Statistical analysis of fiber bundles using multi-tensor tractography: application to first-episode schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2011)
This work proposes a new method to detect abnormalities in fiber bundles of first-episode (FE) schizophrenia patients. Existing methods have either examined a particular region of interest (ROI) or used voxel based morphometry ...
Local white matter geometry from diffusion tensor gradients
(Elsevier BV, 2010)
We introduce a mathematical framework for computing geometrical properties of white matter fibres directly from diffusion tensor fields. The key idea is to isolate the portion of the gradient of the tensor field corresponding ...
Stochastic tractography study of Inferior Frontal Gyrus anatomical connectivity in schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2011)
Background—Abnormalities within language-related anatomical structures have been associated with clinical symptoms and with language and memory deficits in schizophrenia. Recent studies suggest disruptions in functional ...
Fiber Bundle Estimation and Parameterization
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2006)
Individual white matter fibers cannot be resolved by current magnetic resonance (MR) technology. Many fibers of a fiber bundle will pass through an individual volume element (voxel). Individual visualized fiber tracts are ...
Sparse Multi-Shell Diffusion Imaging
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2011)
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is an important tool that allows non-invasive investigation of neural architecture of the brain. The data obtained from these in-vivo scans provides important information about ...
White Matter Bundle Registration and Population Analysis Based on Gaussian Processes
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2011)
This paper proposes a method for the registration of white matter tract bundles traced from diffusion images and its extension to atlas generation. Our framework is based on a Gaussian process representation of tract density ...
