Alterations of the optic pathway between unilateral and bilateral optic nerve damage in multiple sclerosis as revealed by the combined use of advanced diffusion kurtosis imaging and visual evoked potentials
2017, Magnetic Resonance ImagingCitation Excerpt :In reality, however, diffusion is restricted by barriers such as cell membranes, axon sheaths, myelin layers/organelles, and water compartments. DTI cannot be used to measure non-Gaussian diffusion or to accurately predict values at dense intersections of fiber tracts [29]. In contrast, DKI can be used to quantify non-Gaussian diffusion and is a more sensitive indicator of diffusional heterogeneity [11,30,31].
Cingulum white matter in young women at risk of depression: The effect of family history and anhedonia
2012, Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :In a post hoc analysis, we have demonstrated that the main group differences in FA for the cinguli were associated with differences in radial diffusivity. Radial diffusivity is influenced by a number of factors, including axonal membrane integrity, axonal diameter, axon packing density and architectural complexity, including crossing fibers (45–47). Evolving noninvasive white matter mapping techniques offer promise in determining which specific features of the microstructure might be implicated, including axon density (48), diameter (49), and myelination (50,51).
