Abstract:
:Cross-terms between imaging and diffusion gradients, unaccounted for during tensor calculations, can lead to erroneous estimation of diffusivity and fractional anisotropy (FA) in regions of isotropic and anisotropic diffusion. Cross-term of magnitude 136.8±1.6 s/mm(2), artificially introduced in the slice-encode direction, caused an increase in FA in isotropic phantom from 0.0546±0.0001 to 0.0996±0.0001, while the change in chimpanzee brain depended on the orientation of the white matter (WM). Mean diffusivity (MD) remained unchanged in isotropic phantom, but increased by ∼20% in the WM due to cross-terms. A bias was observed in the principal eigenvectors in both phantom and chimpanzee brain, resulting in significant increase in midline crossing fibers along the bias than perpendicular to it in tractography in chimpanzee brain. Post hoc correction of these artifacts was achieved by estimating the cross-term factors using calibration scans on an isotropic phantom and modifying the b-matrix before tensor calculation. Upon correction, the FA and MD values closely resembled the values obtained from sequence without cross-terms, and the bias in principal eigenvectors was eliminated. Customized sequences involving large b-values, high-resolution imaging, or long diffusion or echo times should therefore be evaluated and any residual cross-terms corrected before implementation.
