A neural network approach for neural tract segmentation using large-scale population-based diffusion imaging

Subtle changes in white matter (WM) microstructure have been associated with normal aging and neurodegeneration. To study these associations in more detail, it is highly important that the WM tracts can be accurately and reproducibly characterized from brain diffusion MRI. In add ...

Functional Ultrasound (fUS) During Awake Brain Surgery

The Clinical Potential of Intra-Operative Functional and Vascular Brain Mapping

Background and Purpose: Oncological neurosurgery relies heavily on making continuous, intra-operative tumor-brain delineations based on image-guidance. Limitations of currently available imaging techniques call for the development of real-time image-guided resection tools, which ...

Functional Ultrasound (fUS) During Awake Brain Surgery

The Clinical Potential of Intra-Operative Functional and Vascular Brain Mapping

Background and Purpose: Oncological neurosurgery relies heavily on making continuous, intra-operative tumor-brain delineations based on image-guidance. Limitations of currently available imaging techniques call for the development of real-time image-guided resection tools, which ...
Objectives: To assesses whether automated brain image analysis with quantification of structural brain changes improves diagnostic accuracy in a memory clinic setting. Methods: In 42 memory clinic patients, we evaluated whether automated quantification of brain tissue volumes, hi ...
Objectives: To investigate the added diagnostic value of arterial spin labelling (ASL) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to structural MRI for computer-aided classification of Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and controls. Methods: This retrospective stud ...
Objectives: Diminished function of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) is a typical finding in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is hypothesized that in early stage AD, PCC functioning relates to or reflects hippocampal dysfunction or atrophy. The aim of this study was to exami ...
This study investigates regional coherence between white matter (WM) microstructure and gray matter (GM) volume and perfusion measures in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) using a correlational approach. WM-GM coherence, compared with ...

Introduction: Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumours with a very poor survival. Resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy often occurs in these tumours due to hypoxia, which can be caused by different oxygenation parameters. Multiple magnetic resonance imag ...
