Universal Sampling Denoising (USD) for noise mapping and noise removal of non-Cartesian MRI

Hong-Hsi Lee, Mahesh Bharath Keerthivasan, Gregory Lemberskiy +3

Random matrix theory (RMT) combined with principal component analysis has resulted in a widely used MPPCA noise mapping and denoising algorithm, that utilizes the redundancy in mul…

The impact of realistic axonal shape on axon diameter estimation using diffusion MRI

Hong-Hsi Lee, Sune N. Jespersen, Els Fieremans +1

To study axonal microstructure with diffusion MRI, axons are typically modeled as straight impermeable cylinders, whereby the transverse diffusion MRI signal can be made sensitive…

In vivo observation and biophysical interpretation of time-dependent diffusion in human cortical gray matter

Hong-Hsi Lee, Antonios Papaioannou, Dmitry S. Novikov +1

The dependence of the diffusion MRI signal on the diffusion time is a hallmark of tissue microstructure at the scale of the diffusion length. Here we measure the time-dependenc…

A time-dependent diffusion MRI signature of axon caliber variations and beading

Hong-Hsi Lee, Antonios Papaioannou, Sung-Lyoung Kim +2

MRI provides a unique non-invasive window into the brain, yet is limited to millimeter resolution, orders of magnitude coarser than cell dimensions. Here we show that diffusion MRI…

Solving the paradox of the folded falling chain by considering horizontal kinetic energy and link geometry

Hong-Hsi Lee, Chih-Fan Chen, I-Shing Hu

A folded chain, with one end fixed at the ceiling and the other end released from the same elevation, is commonly modeled as an energy-conserving system in one-dimension. However,…

What dominates the time dependence of diffusion transverse to axons: Intra- or extra-axonal water?

Hong-Hsi Lee, Els Fieremans, Dmitry S. Novikov

Brownian motion of water molecules provides an essential length scale, the diffusion length, commensurate with cell dimensions in biological tissues. Measuring the diffusion coeffi…
