We review the theoretical background to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and some of its
commoner clinical applications, such as cerebral ischemia, brain maturation and traumatic brain …

… van der Knaap MS, van der Grond J, van Rijen PC, et al. Age dependent changes in
localized proton and phosphorus MR spectroscopy of the brain. Radiology 1990;176:509-15. …

The differential diagnosis of intradural spinal tumors is primarily based on location, but the
clinical presentation, age, and gender of the patient are also important factors in determining …

Objective Central pain augmentation resulting from enhanced excitatory and/or decreased
inhibitory neurotransmission is a proposed mechanism underlying the pathophysiology of …

The anisotropy of water diffusion in brain tissue is affected by both disease and development.
This change can be detected using diffusion MRI and is often quantified by the fractional …

Purpose Assessment of radiologic response (RR) for brain tumors utilizes the Macdonald
criteria 8 to 10 weeks from the start of treatment. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Background: Chronic pain remains a significant challenge for modern health care as its
pathologic mechanisms are largely unknown and preclinical animal models suffer from …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to explore the feasibility and utility of 2D
chemical shift imaging (CSI) MR spectroscopy in the evaluation of new areas of contrast …

In diffusion MRI (dMRI), microscopic diffusion anisotropy can be obscured by orientation
dispersion. Separation of these properties is of high importance, since it could allow dMRI to non…

Objective Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic widespread pain condition that is thought to arise
from augmentation of central neural activity. Glutamate (Glu) is an excitatory neurotransmitter …
