Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) is a variant of the standard MRI sequence examining the diffusion rate of water molecules. DWI or Diffusion MRI has allowed for the improved study of white matter pathways across both diseased and healthy patients. The goal of the diffusion Fiducials or dFIDs project is to identify a set of anatomical landmarks on a variety of Diffusion-Weighted MRI images that are both salient and have functional significance. This will be an extension of the previous Anatomical Fiducials (AFIDs) project that has localized a set of 32 clinically-relevant landmarks in humans, macaques, and PD patients in multiple imaging acquisitions (see https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.24693).
We are looking for students, researchers, and clinicians to determine potential fiducials across various acquisition types and models in DWI. Those with experience in acquiring diffusion images or who have an interest in neuroimaging or anatomy are welcome to join!
