Biophysical models are a promising means for interpreting diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) data, as they can provide estimates of physiologically relevant parameters of microstructure including cell size, volume fraction, or dispersion. However, their application in cardiac microstructure mapping (CMM) has been limited. This study proposes seven new two-compartment models wit...Show More
The propagation of cardiac electrical excitation is influenced by tissue microstructure. Reaction-diffusion computational models of cardiac electrophysiology incorporating both dynamic action potential (AP) behaviour and image-based myocardial architecture provide an approach to study the complex organisation of excitation waves within variable myocardial structures. The role of tissue microstruct...Show More
A model of cardiac microstructure and diffusion MRI is presented, and compared with experimental data from ex vivo rat hearts. The model includes a simplified representation of individual cells, with physiologically correct cell size and orientation, as well as intra- to extracellular volume ratio. Diffusion MRI is simulated using a Monte Carlo model and realistic MRI sequences. The results show g...Show More
Diffusion in biological tissues is known to be hindered by the structural complexity of the underlying medium. In the heart, improved characterisation on how this complexity influences acquired diffusion weighted signals is key to advancing our interpretation of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, as well as to propose novel biomarkers to further characterise myocardial microstructure. In this w...Show More
Clinical studies had shown that EEG-based motor imagery Brain-Computer Interface (MI-BCI) combined with robotic feedback is effective in upper limb stroke rehabilitation, and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) combined with other rehabilitation techniques further enhanced the facilitating effect of tDCS. This motivated the current clinical study to investigate the effects of combining ...Show More
