Abstract:DECOMPOSE-QSM was applied on high angular-resolution multi-echo gradient-echo data of a chimpanzee brain to evaluate its ability in resolving orientation mixture of substructure fiber bundles. The orientation distribution function (ODF) of the separated paramagnetic and diamagnetic susceptibility provides smooth transitions of multiple fiber orientations. Additionally, the paramagnetic maps from DECOMPOSE show a potential to resolve fiber crossings in deep gray matter regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
