Brain morphometry in older adults with and without dementia using extremely rapid structural scans

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert

T1-weighted structural MRI is widely used to measure brain morphometry (e.g., cortical thickness and subcortical volumes). Accelerated scans as fast as one minute or less are now available but it is unclear if they are adequate for quantitative morphometry ...

Signatures of life course socioeconomic conditions in brain anatomy

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Bogdan Draganski

Socioeconomic status (SES) plays a significant role in health and disease. At the same time, early-life conditions affect neural function and structure, suggesting the brain may be a conduit for the biological embedding of SES. Here, we investigate the bra ...

Determining crack kinematics from imaged crack patterns

Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Amir Rezaie, Ketson Roberto Maximiano Dos Santos

Determining the relationship between the cause of damage and the subsequent structural behavior of infrastructure systems requires an accurate characterization of the propagation of cracks, which represents the evolution of the damage state. When no inform ...

Brain structural and functional substrates of ADGRL3 (latrophilin 3) haplotype in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez

Previous studies have shown that the gene encoding the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor L3 (ADGRL3; formerly latrophilin 3, LPHN3) is associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Conversely, no studies have investigated the anatomica ...

Test-retest variability of brain morphometry analysis: an investigation of sequence and coil effects

Tobias Kober, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

Background: Precise and reliable brain morphometry analysis is critical for clinical and research purposes. The magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE), multi-echo MPRAGE (MEMPRAGE) and magnetization-prepared 2 rapid acquisition gradient echo ( ...

Exploring dynamic functional connectivity by incorporating prior knowledge of brain structure

Anjali Bagunu Tarun

The synchronized firing of distant neuronal populations gives rise to a wide array of functional brain networks that underlie human brain function. Given the enormous perception, learning, and cognition potential of the human brain, it is not surprising th ...

Topological principles and developmental algorithms might refine diffusion tractography

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Alessandro Daducci, Maxime Descoteaux, Giorgio Innocenti, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

The identification and reconstruction of axonal pathways in the living brain or “ex-vivo” is promising a revolution in connectivity studies bridging the gap from animal to human neuroanatomy with extensions to brain structural–functional correlates. Unfort ...

Brain tissue segmentation based on MP2RAGE multi-contrast images in 7 T MRI

Tobias Kober

We proposed a method for segmentation of brain tissues-gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid-using multi-contrast images, including a T1 map and a uniform T1-weighted image, from a magnetization-prepared 2 rapid acquisition gradient echoes (MP ...

Central nervous system microbleeds in the acute phase are associated with structural integrity by DTI one year after mild traumatic brain injury: A longitudinal study

Jean-Philippe Thiran, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alessandro Daducci, Pietro Bontempi

Introduction: Several imaging modalities are under investigation to unravel the pathophysiological mystery of delayed performance deficits in patients after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Although both imaging and neuropsychological studies have been ...

Assessment of Image Quality Requirements in Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Quantitative Brain Morphometry

Pavel Falkovskiy

Structural T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides sufficient anatomical details to measure and track changes in volumes of brain structures. The volumes of brain structures and changes in them can be used to study the effects of disease, tre ...

Multivariate Pattern Recognition for Diagnosis and Prognosis in Clinical Neuroimaging: State of the Art, Current Challenges and Future Trends

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Many diseases are associated with systematic modifications in brain morphometry and function. These alterations may be subtle, in particular at early stages of the disease progress, and thus not evident by visual inspection alone. Group-level statistical c ...

Sparse regularization for fiber ODF reconstruction: from the suboptimality of $\ell_2$ and $\ell_1$ priors to $\ell_0$

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Yves Wiaux, Alessandro Daducci

Diffusion MRI is a well established imaging modality providing a powerful way to probe the structure of the white matter non-invasively. Despite its potential, the intrinsic long scan times of these sequences have hampered their use in clinical practice. F ...

Accurate and Efficient Linear Structure Segmentation by Leveraging Ad Hoc Features with Learned Filters

Vincent Lepetit, Roberto Rigamonti

Extracting linear structures, such as blood vessels or dendrites, from images is crucial in many medical imagery applications, and many handcrafted features have been proposed to solve this problem. However, such features rely on assumptions that are never ...

A whole-brain voxel based measure of intrinsic connectivity contrast reveals local changes in tissue connectivity with anesthetic without a priori assumptions on thresholds or regions of interest

Roberto Martuzzi

The analysis of spontaneous fluctuations of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals has recently gained attention as a powerful tool for investigating brain circuits in a non-invasive manner. Correlation-based connectivity analysis investigate ...

Toward Reliable MR-Based Brain Structure Morphometry : Importance of Rigorous Quality Control

Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

Dementing neurodegenerative disorders have more and more prominent public health implications with the most frequent cause being the currently non reversible Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, over the past 15 years, an abundant literature has demonstrated ...
