Simultaneous magnetic resonance diffusion and pseudo-diffusion tensor imaging.
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 2018 April
PURPOSE: An emerging topic in diffusion magnetic resonance is imaging blood microcirculation alongside water diffusion using the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model. Recently, a combined IVIM diffusion tensor imaging (IVIM-DTI) model was proposed, which accounts for both anisotropic pseudo-diffusion due to blood microcirculation and anisotropic diffusion due to tissue microstructures. In this article, we propose a robust IVIM-DTI approach for simultaneous diffusion and pseudo-diffusion tensor imaging.
METHODS: Conventional IVIM estimation methods can be broadly divided into two-step (diffusion and pseudo-diffusion estimated separately) and one-step (diffusion and pseudo-diffusion estimated simultaneously) methods. Here, both methods were applied on the IVIM-DTI model. An improved one-step method based on damped Gauss-Newton algorithm and a Gaussian prior for the model parameters was also introduced. The sensitivities of these methods to different parameter initializations were tested with realistic in silico simulations and experimental in vivo data.
RESULTS: The one-step damped Gauss-Newton method with a Gaussian prior was less sensitive to noise and the choice of initial parameters and delivered more accurate estimates of IVIM-DTI parameters compared to the other methods.
CONCLUSION: One-step estimation using damped Gauss-Newton and a Gaussian prior is a robust method for simultaneous diffusion and pseudo-diffusion tensor imaging using IVIM-DTI model.
