Diffusion-tensor (DT) MRI fiber tracking may potentially be used for in vivo structural analysis. The purpose of this study was to assess quantitatively the ability of a DT-MRI fiber-tracking algorithm to measure the fiber orientation (pennation) in skeletal muscle in vivo. In five adult Sprague-Daw

The effect of susceptibility differences between fluid and fibers on the properties of DTI fiber phantoms was investigated. Thereto, machine-made, easily producible and inexpensive DTI fiber phantoms were constructed by winding polyamide fibers of 15 microm diameter around a circular acrylic glass s
## Abstract Propriospinal myoclonus (PSM) is a rare movement disorder characterized by involuntary spinalβgenerated muscular jerks that spread rostrally and caudally to other spinally innervated muscles. Most patients have no clear etiology, and conventional MRI of the spinal cord is generally norm
## Abstract The accuracy of fiber tracking on the basis of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) is affected by many parameters. To increase accuracy of the tracking algorithm, we introduce DTI with a fourthβorder tensor. Tensor elements comprise information obtained by high angular res
Diffusion tensor imaging is unique in its ability to noninvasively visualize white matter fiber tracts in the human brain in vivo. Diffusion is the incoherent motion of water molecules on a microscopic scale. This motion is itself dependent on the micro-structural environment that restricts the move
