1 Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI): An overview of key concepts (Supplemental material for presentation) Prepared by: Nadia Barakat BMB 601 Chris Conklin Thursday, April 8 th 2010 Diffusion Concept [1,2]: Brownian Motion: Refers to constant, thermal and random motion of molecules Phenomenon observed by Robert Brown Fick s Law [2]: Physical law governing molecular diffusion Differences in solutes concentration in a medium leads to net flux of solute particles from high concentration to low concentration regions J = D C J x J y J z = D xx D xy D xz D yx D yy D yz D zx D zy D zz C x C y C z where J is the net particle flux, D is the diffusion coefficient (tensor in terms of DTI), and C is the particle concentration. The minus sign indicates that the particle is moving in direction of decreasing concentration.
2 Einstein s Contribution [2]: Displacement distribution of a group of particles undergoing diffusion In free diffusion with a large number of molecules, it was predicted that after time, t, a molecule will end up somewhere within a sphere of radius R Mean square displacement of particles during diffusion time, t, and diffusion coefficient, D R 2 = 2Dt 1D- Gaussian function 2D-circular cross section of Gaussian distribution (for isotropic medium) 3D-spherical distribution function Diffusion Tensor Imaging [1-3]: An MRI technique used to quantify diffusion of water molecules in each voxel of an image By using linear magnetic field gradients inhomogeneities are introduced whereby diffusion can be detected as signal attenuation
3 What is being Measured? [1-4] H.C. Torrey modified the Bloch equations to account for diffusion in 1956 [4]. In essence, the classical magnetization equations incorporate an additional term that reflects the echo signal attenuation S = S 0 e ( bd) where S is the signal intensity at a given voxel, S 0 is the signal intensity for a non-diffusion weighted sequence, b is the diffusion weighting factor that depends upon the shape and duration of sensitizing gradients, and D is the effective diffusion tensor quantifying motion of water molecules in desired non-collinear directions. DTI Parameters [1-3]: To extract information from the collected DTI data, a few parameters (scalar values and parametrical maps) are derived from the estimated diffusion tensor. Trace is the sum of the three diagonal elements of the tensor, which is equal to the sum of the three eigenvalues. Dividing trace by three yields the averaged mean diffusivity. It is found using equation 3-3 Trace = D xx + D yy + D zz or Trace = λ 1 + λ 2 + λ 3 Mean diffusivity (MD), in mm 2 /s, describes the overall mean-squared displacements of water molecules and the existence of any obstacles to diffusion. It does not account for anisotropic diffusion. Mean diffusivity is given by MD = D xx +D yy +D zz 3 or MD = λ 1+λ 2 +λ 3 3 In the case of anisotropic diffusion, several indices are calculated. Fractional anisotropy (FA) is the most commonly used anisotropy index. It is a unit-less parameter which characterizes the degree (or magnitude) of anisotropy, or how the molecules displacements vary in space. In the same manner the magnitude of a vector is calculated (i.e. summing the squares of its components), the magnitude of a tensor is calculated by summing the
4 squares of its eigenvalues. In the ideal case of diffusion occurring along one direction, a maximum FA value of one is expected. In gray matter for example, a low FA value is measured because the medium is isotropic (not organized in fibers as in white matter). FA is calculated by the following equation: FA = 3[(λ 1 λ) 2 +(λ 2 λ) 2 +(λ 3 λ) 2 ] 2(λ 1 2 +λ 2 2 +λ 3 2 ) where λ = λ 1+λ 2 +λ 3 3 Volume ratio (VR), in mm 2 /s, is the ratio of the ellipsoid volume to the volume of a sphere of radius λ. VR ranges from one (isotropic diffusion) to zero and calculated by VR = λ 1λ 2 λ 3 λ 3 Relative anisotropy (RA), in mm 2 /s, represents the ratio of the anisotropic part of diffusivity to its isotropic part. RA varies between zero (isotropic medium) to 2 (anisotropic medium). RA = (λ 1 λ) 2 + (λ 2 λ) 2 + (λ 3 λ) 2 3λ Finally it is worth noting that the DTI parameters mentioned above represent the overall diffusion (isotropic and anisotropic) in an ellipsoid-shaped tensor where λ 1 > λ 2 > λ 3. They do not provide any information on the ellipsoid shape where λ 1 > λ 2 = λ 3 or λ 1 = λ 2 > λ 3. In order to characterize the tensor s ellipsoid shape, three other indices are used: inear anisotropy coefficient (Cl) describes the linearity if the ellipsoid, and is defined by Cl = (λ 1 λ 2 ) 3λ Planar anisotropy coefficient (Cp) is used to find how planar the tensor ellipsoid is Cp = 2(λ 2 λ 3 ) 3λ
5 Spherical anisotropy coefficients (Cs) shows the ellispsoid s spherical characteristics, and is determined by the following equation Cs = λ 3 λ Below are a series of pictures showing several DTI parameter maps that can reveal useful clinical information.

6 Sequences: Spin-Echo (SE) Developed by Hahn [5] Most Basic Sequence pulses Trilobed slice selection to eliminate transverse magnetization from imperfect Pulsed Gradient Spin Echo (PGSE)
7 Image: Pulsed gradient spin echo sequence [6] Carr and Purcell SE sequence [7] modified in 1965 by Stejskal-Tanner [8] Constant field gradient replaced by pulsed scheme Accurate measure of diffusion as distinction between encode time(δ) & diffusion time(δ) is pronounced As δ-> Δ sequence reverts to typical SE Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) Peter Mansfield initially showed the concept for EPI and multi-planar image formation [9] Fill k-space in 1 TR Single shot vs Multishot readout o Single shot fast but phase errors propogate o Multi shot less stress on gradients, reduction in phase errors, but slow Diffusion Weighted Echo Planar Imaging (DW-EPI)

9 Diffusion of molecules along applied gradients make up elements of D Can represent the diffusion pattern at each point in the brain using an ellipsoid b-matrix To accurately estimate the diffusion tensor it is necessary to quantify the contributions of all gradient pulses o The net effect of the gradient on each echo for each desired direction make up the elements of the b matrix b-matrix for pulsed gradient sequence is related to the area of the gradient pulses b = 0 2τ k t 2H t τ k τ (k t 2H t τ k τ ) T dt t where 2τ = TE, H(t) is the unit-step Heaviside function, k t = γ G t dt 0 and G t = [G x t, G y t, G z t ] T [12] Estimating the Diffusion Tensor ln A b A 0 3 i=1 3 j =1 = b ij D ij Since the b matrix can be calculated, the diffusion tensor, D, can be found. For isotropic medium the b matrix degenerates to a scalar and the above equation reduces to D = ln A b A 0 /b A(b) is the signal intensity for a diffusion weighted image, with a known b value, and A(0) is a non-diffusion weighted image.

This is particularly useful for neuroimaging and tracking of fibers in the CNS. When used in conjunction with fmri this modality could serve to establish connectivity pathways for a variety of tasks.
