We demonstrate the anisotropy boost in 19 glioma cases w/ substantial peritumoral edema. The method increases overlap between key tracts & edema. E.g., the arcuate fasciculus, crucial for language, shows improved tracking in both research (left) & clinical #dMRI (right).

On #dMRI, viable white matter tracts at tumor margins are often masked by vasogenic edema’s excess fluid. Protecting such tracts while optimizing resection volume helps minimize likelihood of post-operative deficits while maximizing chances of progression-free survival.

Diffusion MRI of the human heart provides unique insight into myocardial microstructure but has been hampered by cardiac and respiratory motion, short T2 of the heart muscle, and limited gradient strength. Recent advances in ultra-strong gradient technology not only help to overcome these technical challenges but also allow higher diffusion weighting (i.e., b-values) with clinically compatible echo times. The authors demonstrate how this enabled in vivo diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and q-space trajectory imaging (QTI) in the beating human heart, therefore moving beyond the Gaussian assumptions of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). These advances may pave the way for more sensitive biomarkers of pathological changes of the myocardium and bring microstructural imaging closer to clinical application. Key points • Ultra-strong gradients (300 mT/m) make cardiac diffusion MRI feasible at higher b-values. • In vivo cardiac diffusion kurtosis imaging and q-space trajectory imaging (QTI) were demonstrated with clinically compatible echo times. • Kurtosis and QTI metrics reveal non-Gaussian diffusion, offering access to new imaging biomarkers of myocardial microstructure. • Translation to clinical systems is within reach with new 200 mT/m gradient scanners.

The tracts were thresholded to the required values to get connectivity along the length of the bundle, between the termini positions indicated by yellow spheres and used as termination masks for the tractography.

Extending conventional DWI to include advanced diffusion encoding and image readouts brings the field closer to realizing the promise of a “virtual microscope.” These advancements rely on high-performance MRI systems, with particular emphasis on the gradient system. Importantly, a vast majority of advanced DWI methods gain marked improvement in data quality from ultra- strong gradients and more efficient readout strategies, and the exploration of biomarkers can be extended to include experimental designs that were previously either too slow or yielded insufficient SNR. Such developments are particularly promising for prostate imaging, offering high-fidelity high-resolution images that reflect ever more subtle features of tissue microstructure—enhancing detection, diagnostics, and treatment monitoring. The authors present early insights into the novel information made accessible by new hardware, and how this drives further development in the context of prostate cancer imaging. As powerful MRI systems become commercially available worldwide, strong-gradient technology will facilitate new imaging biomarkers, likely playing a fundamental role in everyday clinical diagnosis and advancement of individualized precision medicine.

Ever wondered how neuroscientists “see” inside your brain using MRI?
MRI is like using magnets to take high-tech selfies of your #brain!
• sMRI = snapshot of brain anatomy.
• fMRI = movie of brain activity.
• dMRI = Google Maps for brain connections.

Here is an example in Python how to combine functional and structural #brain connectivity (fc&sc) matrices:
github.com/vilsaira/FSC
Surprisingly simple to apply:
> from fsc import fsc
> fscm = fsc(V=fc, R=sc).get_I()

Three years from idea to preprint but here it is: a macro-scale model combining functional and structural connectivity matrices of the human brain networks.
This is a technical report so not applied to any clinical data yet.

Difference in the model variance between replacing and downweighting outliers. Lines indicate the average and shaded areas indicate the standard deviation calculated over the ten simulated brains. Due to only one 0% frequency simulation, there is only one data point and no variance to show. With replacement approaches, the estimated precision of the model parameters is inflated which is seen as a downward trend for both GP repol and SH repol. In contrast, with the downweighting approach, the estimated precision decreases as the outlier frequency increases which is seen as an upward trend for both GP weighted and SH weighted. The latter is the expected behaviour, as clearly the precision will go down with the increasing frequency of missing data. Regardless of the approach, when the point of too many outliers is reached (approximately 12% here), problems arising from image registration start to take effect and the linear trends disappear.
For #dMRI folks: what to do if your data contains motion outliers? Should you: Ignore them (definitely not!), replace them, or use weighted modelling?
Replacement can lead into inflation of model precision as shown in figure. More details here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
