Accrual of MRI white matter abnormalities in elderly with normal and impaired mobility

Posted on: 03.25.13 | by neurostudies

White matter signal abnormality (WMSA) is often present in the MRIs of older persons with mobility impairment. We examined the relationship between impaired mobility and the progressive accrual of WMSA. Mobility was assessed with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and quantitative measures of gait and balance. Fourteen subjects had baseline and follow-up MRI scans performed 20Read More

Quantitative Analysis of MRI Signal Abnormalities of Brain White Matter With High Reproducibility and Accuracy

Posted on: 03.25.13 | by neurostudies

Purpose: To assess the reproducibility and accuracy compared to radiologists of three automated segmentation pipelines for quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement of brain white matter signal abnormalities (WMSA). Materials and Methods: WMSA segmentation was performed on pairs of whole brain scans from 20 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and 10 older subjects who were positioned and imaged twice within 30Read More

The Role of Advanced MR Imaging Findings as Biomarkers of Traumatic Brain Injury

Posted on: 03.25.13 | by neurostudies

Treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) requires proper classification of the pathophysiology.Clinical classifiers and conventional neuroimaging are limited in TBI detection, outcome prediction, and treatment guidance. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques such as susceptibility weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging are sensitive to microhemorrhages, white matter injury, and abnormal metabolic activities, respectively, in brainRead More

Global White Matter Analysis of Diffusion Tensor Images Is Predictive of Injury Severity in Traumatic Brain Injury

Posted on: 03.25.13 | by neurostudies

Conventional clinical neuroimaging is insensitive to axonal injury in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Immunocytochemical staining reveals changes to axonal morphology within hours, suggesting potential for diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) in early diagnosis and management of TBI. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) characterizes the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of water diffusion, which is highly anisotropic in white matter fibers owing to axonalRead More
