We describe a novel approach for simultaneous analysis of brain function and structure using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We assess brain structure with high-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging and white-matter fiber tractography. Unlike standard structural MRI, these techniques allow us to directly relate anatomical connectivity to functional properties of brain networks.

Here, we present a protocol to establish a closed-head injury animal model replicating the neuroimage outcome of uncomplicated mild traumatic brain injury with the preserved brain structure in the acute phase and long-term brain atrophy. Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging is the primary method used for evidence.

Weighted Mean

While taking the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic mean of a sample data set, equal importance is assigned to all the data points. However, all the values may not always be equally important in some data sets. An intrinsic bias might make it more important to give more weightage to specific values over others. For example, consider the number of goals scored in the matches of a tournament. While computing the average number of goals scored in the tournament, it may be more important to...
FAQs
The key signal difference arises as protons recover longitudinal magnetization after radiofrequency excitation. Each tissue returns toward its aligned state at a different T1 rate, so the scanner records varying signal intensities during recovery. This mechanism allows anatomical boundaries and tissue composition to appear with distinct contrast rather than as uniform regions.
Relatively short repetition time and echo time emphasize differences in longitudinal recovery. Repetition time controls how much recovery occurs before the next excitation, while echo time affects when the signal is measured. Together, these timing choices favor T1-dependent contrast, commonly producing brighter fat and darker fluid in the acquired image.
Fat and fluid differ in how quickly their longitudinal magnetization recovers after excitation. Under timing conditions selected to emphasize T1 differences, fat produces stronger signal than fluid, so the two tissues become visually distinct. This intensity pattern supports recognition of tissue boundaries and structural organization in biological and biomedical images.
Brightness differences provide structural information rather than a direct diagnosis by themselves. Researchers can use the resulting contrast to distinguish organs, delineate tissue boundaries, and identify anatomical changes between regions. Comparing these patterns across healthy and diseased tissue can reveal differences in structure that merit further biological or biomedical investigation.
Acquisition can occur before or after administration of a contrast agent. The post-contrast image may improve visualization of lesions, vessels, or other regions of interest by making selected structures more conspicuous. Comparing images acquired under these conditions helps researchers assess whether contrast enhancement clarifies anatomical features that are less distinct in the unenhanced image.
The workflow begins with radiofrequency excitation, followed by measurement of signal as longitudinal magnetization recovers. Selecting relatively short repetition and echo times establishes the intended tissue contrast, after which the image can be examined for organs, boundaries, and anatomical changes. Researchers may also compare pre-contrast and post-contrast acquisitions when targeted visualization is needed.
