| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
High-speed MR imaging acquisition method using multiband RF excitation was established. As a result, a new diffusion MR analysis method (NODDI) have been available. Different from diffusion tensor imaging which describe white matter anisotropy as an simple ellipsoid model, NODDI can delineate the microstructure of the cerebral cortex as well as white matter by calculating two independent indices; neurite density and axonal orientation dispersion. From the NODDI data, high angular resolution diffusion imaging was simultaneously obtained, which was able to be applied to q-ball imaging based fiber tractogarphy.
Our two ongoing studies are as follows; creation of cerebral cortical functional segmentation according to cortical microstructure using NODDI, and to establish corticospinal tract tractography that is capable of estimating the motor function disability in motor neuron disease patients using q-ball imaging.
