Project Description

Objective

  • Preliminary longitudinal evaluation of white matter diffusion changes along specific tracts in TBI subjects.
  • Collaborate with the UCLA team to evaluate results and discuss improvements.

Approach, Plan

  • Patient specific co-registration of acute and chronic DTI images.
  • ROI based white matter tract extraction
  • Assembling diffusion properties along tract in a space normalized fashion via a consistent mapping of tract geometry across timepoints.
  • Modeling of diffusion changes along time by utilizing the complete cross-sectional distribution of diffusion values along tract.
