The FA values at the compressed segment were significantly lower while the ADC values were significantly higher when compared with the non-compressed levels. Pre-operative motor and total neurological...
Higher FA indices along with lower age constitute independent predictors for faster neurological recovery following decompression. FA values correlate with the neurological status of individuals with ...
Childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (C-ALD) is a severe inflammatory demyelinating disease that must be treated at an early stage to prevent permanent brain injury and neurocognitive decline. In s...
In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed high-resolution anatomical MRI, DTI, and neurocognitive assessments from boys with C-ALD undergoing HCT at the University of Minnesota between 2011 and ...
Among patients with NL-ALD (n = 14), stable or increasing FA, stable AD, and stable or decreasing RD and MD were generally observed during the 1-year study period across all ROIs. In comparison, patie...
DTI was sensitive to lesion presence and severity as well as clinical neurocognitive effects of C-ALD. DTI metrics quantify C-ALD even at an early stage....
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques are being studied as a possible diagnostic and predictive tool for the evaluation of cervical spinal cord disease. This systematic review aims to evaluate the...
A search in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Ovid electronic databases was conducted for articles published between January 1990 and February 2022 that related to the repeatability and reproduci...
A total of 11 studies were included and assessed for different characteristics, including sample size,(3-34) re-test time interval (<1 h to >3 months), test-retest reproducibility scores and acquisiti...
This study revealed that the application of DTI and its related measures in a clinical setting in the assessment of cervical spinal cord changes is feasible and reproducible. However, cervical spinal ...
DTI with its parametric maps provide broad evaluation of the tissue structure of axonal white matter and are being studied as a possible diagnostic and predictive tool for the assessment of cervical s...
The method of diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) was gathering attention to evaluate the brain's glymphatic function or interstitial fluid dynamics. However, to th...
This study included 23 participants, including 2 with Alzheimer's disease, 15 with mild cognitive impairment, and 6 with cognitive normals. Scan and rescan data of diffusion magnetic resonance images ...
The absolute difference in ALPS-index values between scan and rescan was larger in the ALPS index than in the vALPS index by approximately 0.6% as the relative difference. Cohen's d for the left and r...
The vALPS index based on DTI-ALPS maintaining tensor vector orientation information has higher reproducibility than the ALPS index. This result encourages a multisite study on the ALPS index with a la...
The aim was to compare the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) indices derived from human hearts between 1.5 T and 3.0 T scanners. Additionally, the reproducibility of DTI indices was assessed between 1.5 ...
A total of 18 ex-vivo hearts were derived from patients who underwent heart transplantation. The DTI schemes were performed at 1.5 T and 3.0 T, respectively. Then, the same slices from each ex-vivo he...
No significant differences (all P > 0.05) were found in the DTI indices between 1.5 T and 3.0 T scanners. Interestingly, the ICC of all DTI indices was relatively lower with a low b-value. The reprodu...
The DTI indices of ex-vivo human hearts between 1.5 T and 3.0 T scanners had no significant differences. The consistency of DTI indices needed caution using a low b-value with different field strength...
The aim of this study was to evaluate brain connectivity by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in schizophrenia patients with clozapine-induced obsessive compulsive symptoms (OCS)....
Eighteen schizophrenia patients, nine of which had clozapine-induced OCS (Clz-OCS (+)), 9 without OCS (Clz-OCS (-)) and 9 healthy controls were included. Psychopathology was evaluated with Positive an...
