          Abstract

          The acquisition of high angular resolution diffusion MRI is particularly long and subject motion can become an issue. The orientation distribution function (ODF) can be reconstructed online incrementally from diffusion-weighted MRI with a Kalman filtering framework. This online reconstruction provides real-time feedback throughout the acquisition process. In this article, the Kalman filter is first adapted to the reconstruction of the ODF in constant solid angle. Then, a method called STAR (STatistical Analysis of Residuals) is presented and applied to the online detection of motion in high angular resolution diffusion images. Compared to existing techniques, this method is image based and is built on top of a Kalman filter. Therefore, it introduces no additional scan time and does not require additional hardware. The performance of STAR is tested on simulated and real data and compared to the classical generalized likelihood ratio test. Successful detection of small motion is reported (rotation under 2°) with no delay and robustness to noise.

          Age-related decline in brain white matter anisotropy measured with spatially corrected echo-planar diffusion tensor imaging.

          Echo planar (EP) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) permits in vivo identification of the orientation and coherence of brain white matter tracts but suffers from field inhomogeneity-induced geometric distortion. To reduce spatial distortion, polynomial warping corrections were applied and the effects tested on measures of fractional anisotropy (FA) in the genu and splenium of corpus callosum. Implementation entailed spatially warping EP images obtained without diffusion weighting (b = 0) to long-echo T(2)-weighted fast spin echo images, collected for anatomical delineation, tissue segmentation, and coregistration with the diffusion images. Using the optimal warping procedure (third-order polynomial), the effects of age on FA and a quantitative measure of intervoxel coherence (C) in the genu, splenium, centrum semiovale, and frontal and parietal pericallosal white matter were examined in 31 healthy men (23-76 years). FA declined significantly with age in all regions except the splenium, whereas intervoxel coherence positively correlated with age in the genu. Magn Reson Med 44:259-268, 2000.

              Diffusion imaging with prospective motion correction and reacquisition.

              A major source of artifacts in diffusion-weighted imaging is subject motion. Slow bulk subject motion causes misalignment of data when more than one average or diffusion gradient direction is acquired. Fast bulk subject motion can cause signal dropout artifacts in diffusion-weighted images and results in erroneous derived maps, e.g., fractional anisotropy maps. To address both types of artifacts, a fully automatic method is presented that combines prospective motion correction with a reacquisition scheme. Motion correction is based on the prospective acquisition correction method modified to work with diffusion-weighted data. The images to reacquire are determined automatically during the acquisition from the imaging data, i.e., no extra reference scan, navigators, or external devices are necessary. The number of reacquired images, i.e., the additional scan duration can be adjusted freely. Diffusion-weighted prospective acquisition correction corrects slow bulk motion well and reduces misalignment artifacts like image blurring. Mean absolute residual values for translation and rotation were <0.6 mm and 0.5°. Reacquisition of images affected by signal dropout artifacts results in diffusion maps and fiber tracking free of artifacts. The presented method allows the reduction of two types of common motion related artifacts at the cost of slightly increased acquisition time. Copyright © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
