OBJECTIVE. This study aimed to investigate whole-brain microstructural abnormalities and
their correlation with cognitive impairment in patients with cirrhosis using diffusion kurtosis …

Cirrhosis is a major public health concern. However, little is known about the
neurobiological mechanisms underlying brain microstructure alterations in cirrhotic patients …

Purpose To investigate the diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in early minimal hepatic
encephalopathy (MHE) diagnosis and evaluate the correlations between changes in DKI …

Background and purposes Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) has no recognizable
clinical symptoms, but patients have cognitive and psychomotor deficits. Hyperammonemia …

Objective To prevent the development of overt hepatic encephalopathy, the early
intervention for minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) based on an accurate diagnosis is …

Purpose Diffusional kurtosis imaging is an advanced diffusion magnetic resonance imaging
method that yields, in addition to conventional diffusion information, non-Gaussian diffusion …

Purpose: Diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) is an emerging technique that describes
diffusion of water molecules in terms of deviation from Gaussian distribution. This study …

OBJECT: Diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI), a natural extension of diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI), can characterize non-Gaussian diffusion in the brain. We investigated the capability of …

Objective Our study aimed to explore the differences in brain microstructure in patients with
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and in individuals with …

Objectives: We aimed to determine whether diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) analysis with
the breath-hold technique can replace liver function results obtained from laboratory tests …
