Abstract

Fiber tract trajectories in coherently organized brain white matter pathways were computed from in vivo diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) data. First, a continuous diffusion tensor field is constructed from this discrete, noisy, measured DT-MRI data. Then a Frenet equation, describing the evolution of a fiber tract, was solved. This approach was validated using synthesized, noisy DT-MRI data. Corpus callosum and pyramidal tract trajectories were constructed and found to be consistent with known anatomy. The method's reliability, however, degrades where the distribution of fiber tract directions is nonuniform. Moreover, background noise in diffusion-weighted MRIs can cause a computed trajectory to hop from tract to tract. Still, this method can provide quantitative information with which to visualize and study connectivity and continuity of neural pathways in the central and peripheral nervous systems in vivo, and holds promise for elucidating architectural features in other fibrous tissues and ordered media.

摘要

相干组织的脑白质通路中的纤维束轨迹是根据活体扩散张量磁共振成像(DT-MRI)数据计算得出的。首先,从这些离散、有噪声的测量DT-MRI数据构建一个连续的扩散张量场。然后求解描述纤维束演化的弗伦内特方程。该方法通过使用合成的、有噪声的DT-MRI数据进行了验证。构建了胼胝体和锥体束轨迹,发现与已知解剖结构一致。然而,该方法的可靠性在纤维束方向分布不均匀的地方会降低。此外,扩散加权磁共振成像中的背景噪声可能导致计算出的轨迹在不同束之间跳跃。尽管如此,该方法可以提供定量信息,用于在体内可视化和研究中枢和外周神经系统中神经通路的连通性和连续性,并有望阐明其他纤维组织和有序介质中的结构特征。
