Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is crucial for studying white matter (WM) in health and disease.
  • Current DTI methods primarily assess microstructural WM properties using diffusivity measures.
  • A gap exists in characterizing WM morphometry at both macro and micro scales.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel tract-specific framework for examining white matter morphometry.
  • To integrate macroscopic and microscopic features for a comprehensive WM analysis.
  • To demonstrate the framework's utility in quantifying white matter atrophy in neurodegenerative diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a skeleton-based modeling approach using continuous medial representation for sheet-like WM fasciculi.
  • Defined a novel thickness measure for macroscopic characterization of WM fasciculi.
  • Applied the framework to quantify white matter atrophy in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Main Results:

  • The framework enables examination of WM morphometry at macroscopic and microscopic scales.
  • The thickness measure provides a complementary macroscopic characterization to existing microstructural analyses.
  • Combining macroscopic and microscopic features yielded a more holistic characterization of disease-related WM changes in ALS.

Conclusions:

  • The novel framework offers a more complete characterization of white matter morphometry.
  • Integrating macroscopic and microscopic features enhances the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases.
  • This approach advances the analysis of white matter in clinical populations.
