Deep learning-based analysis of multiple sclerosis lesions with high and ultra-high field MRI

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system and affects almost 3 million people worldwide. There is currently no cure for MS, and its symptoms, starting with fatigue and weakness, often progress over time ...

Measuring compartmental T-2-orientational dependence in human brain white matter using a tiltable RF coil and diffusion-T-2 correlation MRI

Muhamed Barakovic

The anisotropy of brain white matter microstructure manifests itself in orientational-dependence of various MRI contrasts, and can result in significant quantification biases if ignored. Understanding the origins of this orientation-dependence could enhanc ...

Simulation-based Microstructure Imaging: From Forward Signal Modeling to Machine Learning

Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez

This thesis focuses on the signal modelling of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI) in the brain's white matter (WM). DW-MRI a non-invasive technique with enormous potential for the study of the brain's microstructure by measuring the dif ...

Validating atlas-based lesion disconnectomics in multiple sclerosis: A retrospective multi-centric study

Jonas Richiardi, Reto Meuli, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal, Tobias Kober, Mario Joao Fartaria de Oliveira

The translational potential of MR-based connectivity modelling is limited by the need for advanced diffusion imaging, which is not part of clinical protocols for many diseases. In addition, where diffusion data is available, brain connectivity analyses rel ...

Cortical Surfaces Integration with Tractography for Structural Connectivity Analysis

Gabriel Girard, Maxime Descoteaux

Background: Mapping diffusion MRI tractography streamlines to the cortical surface facilitates the integration of white matter features onto gray matter, especially for connectivity analysis. ...

Bundle-Specific Axon Diameter Index as a New Contrast to Differentiate White Matter Tracts

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Giorgio Innocenti, David Paul Roger Romascano, Cristina Granziera, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Gabriel Girard, Maxime Descoteaux

In the central nervous system of primates, several pathways are characterized by different spectra of axon diameters. In vivo methods, based on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, can provide axon diameter index estimates non-invasively. However ...

Quantitative Microstructural Imaging for Clinical Use

Gian Franco Piredda

Today, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a well-established medical imaging modality thanks to its excellent soft tissue contrast. Conventional MR image contrasts can be weighted towards one or more physical properties that discriminate different tissues ...

C-reactive protein and white matter microstructural changes in COVID-19 patients with encephalopathy

Alessandra Griffa

Encephalopathy is a neurological complication of COVID-19. The objective of this exploratory study is to investigate the link between systemic inflammation and brain microstructural changes (measured by diffusion-weighted imaging) in patients with COVID-19 ...

Hierarchical Microstructure Informed Tractography

Alessandro Daducci, Gabriel Girard, Maxime Descoteaux

Background: Tractography uses diffusion magnetic resonance imaging to noninvasively infer the macroscopic pathways of white matter fibers and it is the only available technique to probe in vivo the structural connectivity of the brain. However, despite thi ...

The structural connectome and motor recovery after stroke: predicting natural recovery

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Philip Egger, Elena Beanato, Gabriel Girard, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philipp Johannes Koch, Giorgia Giulia Evangelista, Chang-Hyun Park

Stroke patients vary considerably in terms of outcomes: some patients present ‘natural’ recovery proportional to their initial impairment (fitters), while others do not (non-fitters). Thus, a key challenge in stroke rehabilitation is to identify individual ...
