#ISMRM20 Session: Diffusion #Microstructure Modeling & Validation

[µCUBRIC @microCUBRIC]

@ChantalTax88 and colleagues interfaced a tiltable receive coil with an ultra-strong gradient MRI scanner to study compartmental orientation-dependence in T2-diffusion correlation experiments.

[µCUBRIC @microCUBRIC]

How can #diffusion MRI be sensitive to #microstructure if we have mm-sized voxels? Can smaller voxels solve the crossing fibre problem?

Tune in on Sunday the 9th during the Diffusion: Micro & Macro session @ISMRM to find out!

[µCUBRIC @microCUBRIC]

Next on your list is Chantal Tax (@ChantalTax88)'s educational entitled "More #Diffusion, Less Confusion!"

This #ISMRM20 educational discusses 8 common confusions in diffusion #MRI!

[µCUBRIC @microCUBRIC]

Here, @molendowska_m investigates radius estimation precision of the spherical cells for different radius-diffusivity combinations, SNR scenarios, and protocols.

Session: Diffusion #Microstructure

[µCUBRIC @microCUBRIC]

Kickoff for #ISMRM20 is in less than a week! Today we suggest Malwina (@molendowska_m)'s poster #4431:

"Varying the frequency-content of high b-value spherical #diffusion encoding can improve the characterisation of isotropic compartments"

Poster link: https://t.co/rQVph2sv0A

[µCUBRIC @microCUBRIC]

En route towards #ISMRM20, today we showcase abstract #0099 by Maxime Chamberland (@MaxChamb):

"Highlighting tract-specific microstructural abnormalities in single subjects using autoencoders" as part of the #Pediatric High-End Innovations session.

Talk: https://t.co/3jlFV6fYO0

[µCUBRIC @microCUBRIC]

To end your week on a high, check out @EmreKopanoglu's #ISMRM20 abstract "Simultaneous multi-slice imaging reduces sensitivity of local-SAR to patient motion at 7T" where he studies if patient motion causes increases in patient heating
