Generating Fiber Crossing Phantoms Out of Experimental DWIs
[chapter]
2007
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We propose a new method for creating experimental phantom data of fiber crossings, by mixing the DWI-signals from high FA-regions with different orientation. ...
The properties of these experimental phantoms approach the conditions of real data. These phantoms can thus serve as a 'ground truth' in validating crossing reconstruction algorithms. ...

Motion Is Inevitable: The Impact of Motion Correction Schemes on HARDI Reconstructions
[chapter]
2014
Mathematics and Visualization
Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is known to be prone to artifacts related to motion originating from subject movement, cardiac pulsation and breathing, but also to mechanical issues such as table vibrations ...
Given the necessity for rigorous quality control and motion correction, users are often left to use simple heuristics to select correction schemes, but do not fully understand the consequences of such ...
Conclusion Although there is excellent theoretical work on DWI acquisition parameters and ODF reconstruction schemes, as well as its effects on the quality and crossing fiber resolution, standard users ...

2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
However, this information is not sufficient to reconstruct the underlying fiber network, because the nature of diffusion provides only conditional fiber densities. ...
That is, it is possible to infer the percentage of bundles that pass a voxel with a certain direction, but the absolute number of fibers is inaccessible. ...

NeuroImage
This is done by calculating MK for a range of synthetic DWI or b0 for each voxel, and generating curves (MK-curve) representing how alterations to the input dMRI signals affect the resulting output MK. ...
Accordingly, two characteristic b0 values, which define a range of synthetic b0 values that generate implausible MK values, are identified on the MK-curve. ...
