Line scan diffusion tensor images were obtained in excised human adult spinal cord. The diffusion tensor eigenvalues (11, h2, and h3) and the in-plane angle of the second eigenvector was measured. After the imaging experiments, corresponding histology sections were stained with silver to visualize the collateral nerve fibers and to...
High spatial resolution imaging of the petrous bone can significantly aid in the depiction of this complex structure's anatomy and pathology, and can assist in surgical planning. In this study we developed a 3D fast-spin-echo MR imaging sequence that can obtain images with a voxel size of 0.4 x 0.4...
Disruptions in connectivity between the frontal and temporal lobes may explain some of the symptoms observed in schizophrenia. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging MRI studies, however, have not shown compelling evidence for white matter abnormalities, because white matter fiber tracts cannot be visualized by conventional MRI. Diffusion tensor imaging is a...
