Mathematical models for the diffusion magnetic resonance signal abnormality in patients with prion diseases

Mathematical models for the diffusion magnetic resonance signal abnormality in patients with prion diseases

In clinical practice signal hyperintensity in the cortex and/or in the striatum on magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) is a marker of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease (sCJD). MR diagnostic accuracy is greater than 90%, but the biophysical mechanisms underpinning the signal ab...
