New dMRI methodology to calculate q-space measures

[11 Mar 2020]

A new paper entitled Micro-structure diffusion scalar measures from reduced MRI acquisitions has been published in PLOS ONE. The work is written by member of the LPI (Santiago Aja-Fernández, Rodrigo de Luis-García, Antonio Tristán-Vega)  in collaboration with reserachers from AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland (Tomasz Pieciak) and CUBRIC, University of Cardiff, UK Maryam Afzali, Malwina Molendowska). In the work, we propose a method to effectively calculate apparent RTOP, RTPP, and RTAP from single shell diffusion MRI. The method achieves closed-form expressions and a computationally efficient and robust implementation. Methods are implemented in MATLAB and they will be publicly release soon. We can submitted them no upon request.  [Link to paper]

White matter changes in migraine

[07 Jan 2020]

A new paper, White matter changes in chronic and episodic migraine: a diffusion tensor imaging study, written by Álvaro Planchuelo-Gómez, Santiago Aja-Fernández and Rodrigo de Luis-García, in colaboration with the Headache Unit and the Deparment of Radiology of the Clinical Hospital of Valladolid, has been published in the Journal of Headache and Pain. In this article, global white matter differences between chronic and episodic migraine have been found for the first time using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) measures and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS). Our findings suggest axonal integrity impairment in the first months of chronic migraine, with respect to episodic migraine, and a posterior set of maladaptive white matter plastic changes in chronic migraine.

LPI member interviewed

[07 Jan 2020]

Álvaro Planchuelo-Gómez and Dr. David García-Azorín, from the Headache Unit of the Clinical Hospital of Valladolid, have been interviewed by the International Headache Society. Following the article Structural connectivity alterations in chronic and episodic migraine: A diffusion magnetic resonance imaging connectomics study, they talked about the main findings of the article, future lines of research, implications for migraine patients and research communities interested in the paper.

LPI in 3MT competition

[18 Dec 2019]

Elisa Moya-Sáez and Álvaro Planchuelo-Gómez took part in the 2019 edition of the 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) competition organized by the University of Valladolid. They summarized their research projects in a three-minute presentation, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.
