The degree of diffusion tensor anisotropy is often associated with the organization of
structural tissues such as white matter. Numerous measures of diffusion anisotropy have …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a popular method to assess differences in fiber
organization in diseased and healthy muscle tissue. Previous work has shown that muscle …

The distribution of strain along the soleus aponeurosis tendon was examined during
voluntary contractions in vivo. Eight subjects performed cyclic isometric contractions (20 and …

In this study, we have performed simulations to address the effects of diffusion encoding
parameters, signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and T2 on skeletal muscle diffusion tensor indices …

The mechanical functions of muscles involve the generation of force and the actuation of
movement by shortening or lengthening under load. These functions are influenced, in part …

Purpose: To design a time‐efficient patient‐friendly clinical diffusion tensor MRI protocol and
postprocessing tool to study the complex muscle architecture of the human forearm …

Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of in vivo calf muscle fiber tracking in human
subjects. Materials and Methods An EPI‐based diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) sequence with …

The aim of this study was to examine the diffusive properties of adjacent muscles at rest, and
to determine the relationship between diffusive and architectural properties, which are task …

Purpose To establish a series of relationships defining how muscle microstructure and
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are related. Methods The relationship among key …

The global muscle and collagen fiber orientation in the human uterus has been analyzed
hitherto by various standard microscopic techniques. However, no widely accepted model of …
