Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is increasingly applied to study skeletal muscle physiology,
anatomy, and pathology. The reason for this growing interest is that DTI offers unique …

Purpose To explore the capability and reliability of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance
imaging (DTI) in the evaluation of human skeletal muscle injury. Materials and Methods DTI …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate a fast clinical protocol to enable diffusion
tensor imaging of the human forearm and assess the reproducibility of six diffusion tensor …

Purpose To determine the minimum water percentage in a muscle region of interest that
would allow diffusion tensor (DT−) MRI data to reflect the diffusion properties of pure muscle …

Diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) offers great potential for understanding
structure-function relationships in skeletal muscle. The basis for these studies is that water …

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 …

Diffusion tensor (DT)‐MRI studies of skeletal muscle provide information about muscle
architecture, microstructure, and damage. However, the effects of noise, the diffusion …

Diffusion tensor (DT) imaging is an emerging magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technique
for evaluating the microstructure of well-organized biologic tissues such as muscles and …

The influence of passive shortening and stretching of the calf muscles on diffusion
characteristics was investigated. The diffusion tensor was measured in transverse slices …

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 …
