Constrained spherical deconvolution tractography improves sensitivity to white matter abnormalities in chronic stroke.
FY 2013-14
Summary
Multiple methods exist for reconstructing white matter connections in the brain. This study compares the most commonly used method, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to a novel tensor-free approach called constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD). We found CSD performed better than DTI at differentiating post-stroke form healthy control brains. Additionally CSD correlated with motor function after stroke whereas, DTI did not. This study indicates that CSD will be useful in the study of post-stroke recovery.
