  Author's Comments

  I’ve had a long record of trying to improve data quality and utility of diffusion NMR and diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) applications. In fact, the first diffusion tensor NMR study I ever performed in 1991 with Jim Mattiello at the NIH was to test out my DT-NMR experimental design and diffusion tensor estimation pipeline using an isotropic water phantom. The hypothesis was that we would observe an isotropic diffusion tensor in water, which is an isotropic medium. After that we calibrated every diffusion MR acquisition using a water-based MR phantom. In 1995 I even proposed a method for calibrating the gradients of an MR scanner using this same idea and came up with an algorithm to correct for gradient miscalibration and non-orthogonality. When we started to implement different diffusion weighted MRI sequences, such as Bob Turner’s diffusion weighted echo-planar MRI sequence, we continued to use an isotropic water phantom to ensure there were no hardware or software artifacts before scanning subjects.  
  
  When I proposed streamline tractography in 1997, the subject of calibration of diffusion imaging came to the forefront again, because failure to measure and map the diffusion tensor field accurately could produce spurious tract trajectories and increase the number of false positive and false negative white matter tracts in the brain. Water phantoms had clear limitations, as was clear even in one proposed by my colleague Tom Chenevert, who used an ice-water bath to maintain the temperature of the phantom. Vibration of the gantry during the MRI acquisition, and the clanging of the gradients could affect the accuracy and precision of the diffusion measurement. Using MRI phantoms made of crosslinked gels didn’t make sense as a way to address this problem, as they could vibrate and even shake like Jell-O, creating standing waves, although they did have a high water content and could produce a strong MR signal. Viscous polymers, particularly below DeGennes’ critical concentration, had the potential to damp out large scale mechanical motion and vibration while still having a high water content and thus a high signal to noise ratio (SNR) when scanned. My colleague, Sinisa Pajevic, who originally was trained as a polymer physicist, recently reminded me about several conversations we had in which I suggested the idea to use polyacrylamide or similar viscous polymeric solutions for this purpose. Happily, our diffusion phantom initiative resurfaced again after Ferenc Horkay had joined our group. Ferenc had a great deal of experience and practical knowledge in polymer sciences (chemistry and physics) and identified a Goldilocks polymer for a diffusion MRI calibration phantom: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). This polymer is an FDA-approved food additive, so it is safe to handle. It is storable, stable, transportable, and can be tailored to have diffusion properties and other MR relaxation properties that mimic properties observed in different tissues and tissue types. Carlo Pierpaoli spearheaded the development of this new MRI phantom material; designing and developing MRI compatible PVP-filled containers, making and distributing them to various sites, primarily to promote the idea of quantitative imaging as a way of improving data quality and comparability in individual, longitudinal, and multi-site studies, which, frankly, was not a widely held view at the time. Carlo has gone on to use isotropic diffusion phantoms to correct for gradient non-linearity in MRI scanners, primarily to improve the quality and scientific character of diffusion MRI acquisitions. This particular abstract represented the culmination of a great deal of collaborative effort in testing and vetting PVP as a diffusion MRI phantom material.

  This work grew out of a realization in the late ‘90s that diffusion tensor MRI data was becoming more widely used among research labs, and eventually would become used clinically in diagnostic radiological and neurosurgical applications inter alia, as well as a become a key imaging technology in longitudinal and multi-site clinical studies. What was lacking at that time, however, was a statistical infrastructure or framework to assess variability of measured DTI data. For instance, if one wished to determine what was “normal” from normative DTI data there was no clear way to assess the variability of DTI within the sample. If DTI-derived parameters were to be used clinically, we needed to establish whether an individual’s DTI data were significantly different from that in a population of normal subjects, possibly indicating pathology.
  
  In 1998 I began thinking about new ways to characterize the variability of an estimated diffusion tensor in each voxel of an imaging volume, and the notion of the normal or Gaussian tensor-variate distribution began taking shape. This issue was actually addressed by me previously in our Basser PJ, Mattiello J, Le Bihan D. (1994) Estimation of the effective self-diffusion tensor from the NMR spin echo. J Magn Reson B. 103(3):247-54. PMID: 8019776, DOI: 10.1006/jmrb.1994.1037, but there, the covariance structure was a square covariance matrix that was difficult to interpret. The key observation was that the exponent of the multivariate normal distribution was a scalar quantity – a quadratic form – produced by “contracting” a random vector with a covariance matrix. This was the framework I used previously in the “Estimation“ paper above to characterize the effects of measurement noise on the estimate of the diffusion tensor elememts. However, there ought to have been a more elegant form of this distribution that preserved the beautiful properties of the tensor itself, without having to write out its components as a list of numbers (i.e., as a vector). I reasoned that the same overall structure of the quadratic form could be preserved when the random variable was a 2nd or higher-order tensor. Then, the exponent should be the contraction of that random tensor with a new covariance structure. For a 2nd-order normal random tensor variable, that covariance structure must be a 4th-order covariance tensor. Fortunately, this all fell into place. I had seen this object before in a different guise in my prior studies of continuum mechanics, where the scalar “elastic free energy” could be written as the contraction of the 2nd-order strain tensor and the 4th-order elasticity tensor. Happily, many new results and statistical properties and findings began flowing from this basic realization.
  
  However, getting this work published was no easy task. In 2000 I submitted a manuscript to one journal describing the properties and applications of a new tensor-variate normal or Gaussian distribution. After a year and multiple pleadings with the editor to get my reviews returned, I received a snarky one-paragraph review saying that none of this was new and “all of it could be found in Anderson”, a textbook on multivariable statistics. I wrote back that I scoured Anderson and could find no mention of concepts related to my work. No response. I withdrew the manuscript and resubmitted to another journal, which also rejected it after about a year. Persistence pays. I then decided to present the work as a poster at an early IEEE ISBI conference. Max Vergiever, an editor of the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, happened to come over to hear my presentation and read through my poster. I explained to him the trouble I was having getting it published, and he invited me to submit it to his journal, which I did. The paper finally found its way in print in 2003 after a forced period of hibernation of about five years.

  This ISMRM abstract proposed the first “streamline tractography” algorithm to follow white matter fiber tracts or pathways in the brain and in other fibrous media. While in a prior 1992 ISMRM abstract I had pointed out that we could perform fiber tractography by stringing together diffusion ellipsoids within the imaging volume as though they “are connected like linked sausages that follow fiber tracts” developing such an algorithm proved challenging. In fact, in many lectures I gave during the mid -‘90s I would ask audience members to look at diffusion ellipsoid images in anisotropic white matter areas like the corpus callosum as though they were squinting in the back of the room at a pointillist painting, and start to see the individual ellipsoids meld together into continuous fiber tracts. However, I learned that our mind does a better job joining these discrete ellipsoids than computer algorithms do. Therefore, I elected to go back to proposing a tractography algorithm that follows tracts as though they were fluid streamlines, a schema I had proposed in 1991 to my colleagues, Denis LeBihan, Bob Turner, and Philippe Douek. The first description of this streamline tractography method actually can be found in Derek Jones’ classic book on Diffusion Tensor MRI in a “memo” I had shared with my NIH collaborators. This 1998 abstract also pointed out that it is problematic to follow fibers or tracts in regions where the fiber architecture may be incoherent, particularly where fibers “cross, branch, merge, or fan-out”, a limitation that was not appreciated initially as the field of DTI tractography emerged.

  This abstract describes our first use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) or as it was known then, diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI), to assess brain pathology. Ischemic stroke had been previously “invisible” radiologically until Moseley et al. showed that the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) dropped significantly in areas of the brain where blood flow had been reduced or cut-off (i.e., where there was ischemia). However, the ADC was not a panacea for identifying these ischemic areas. There was a serious confound in his ADC measurement because some brain regions, particularly in white matter, showed low ADC, as well, so it was difficult for the radiologist to distinguish between tissue that had been starved of oxygen and glucose, and white matter that was creating these stray artifacts that also looked like stroke. Our introduction of the trace or the mean ADC (mADC) solved this radiological confound. This abstract was the first of our publications to demonstrate that our measure of the bulk orientationally-averaged water diffusivity or the mADC, obtained from the diffusion tensor, could unambiguously identify ischemic areas in the brain.

  This abstract was the first “printed publication” to introduce and describe diffusion tensor NMR and DT-MRI (DTI), the latter being a new imaging method that uses diffusion weighted MR images to measure and map features of the diffusion tensor of water (or other spin-labeled species) within each voxel of an imaging volume. Here, I introduced the form of the 3D net displacement distribution, and motivated the use of the diffusion ellipsoid, which can be derived from it, to visualize features of diffusion anisotropy. I also introduced new quantitative MR parameters derived from the diffusion tensor.  One of them, the Trace or the mean apparent diffusion coefficient (mADC) has become used universally as a quantitative imaging biomarker that radiologists and neuroscientists routinely employ in a myriad of diagnostic and research applications. I also introduced the use of other “rotational invariants” of the diffusion tensor, as well, since these scalar quantities are intrinsic to the tissue, preserving their value regardless of the frame of reference in which these measurements are made or the orientation of the sample in the scanner. To nail that down, the data presented in skeletal muscle showed the “fiber frame of reference” of the tissue, as depicted as the principal axes of the diffusion ellipsoid, rotates when the tissue is rotated, along with the principal axes of the diffusion ellipsoid. However, the eigenvalues or principal diffusivities of the tissue, which determine the shape of the ellipsoid, and are intrinsic to the tissue, are unchanged. A key contribution here is that diffusion anisotropy, which was largely a radiological confound, suddenly provided a wealth of useful parameters characterizing this important feature. This abstract also introduced DTI tractography – envisioning 3D diffusion images in which diffusion ellipsoids are “connected like linked sausages that follow fiber tracts” to elaborate pathways of fibers, such as muscles or nerves. It took several years for algorithms to perform tractography to be proposed and developed but the “public disclosure” of the idea can be traced back to this work. My later 1998 ISMRM abstract on that subject is the first example of a “streamline tractography” algorithm, that uses a diffusion tensor field to follow fiber tracts in the brain and other fibrous tissue and media.

  This abstract described the theory and experimental design to measure the diffusion tensor and reports the first measurements of a diffusion tensor of water and skeletal muscle. The relationship between the diffusion weighted signal, the diffusion tensor, and features of the diffusion weighted NMR sequence is first proposed. The b-matrix, which I defined as a generalization of the b-factor used in previous diffusion imaging applications, embodies the degree of diffusion weighting for each component or element of the diffusion tensor. I laid out a particular experimental design in which different linear combinations of the diffusion tensor could be observed by playing out gradients in different directions—at least six—and a statistical framework for estimating the diffusion tensor from that data using multi-variate linear regression. Previous works in the NMR and MRI literature had ignored the off-diagonal elements of the diffusion tensor, nor had they ever been measured, but these are essential to determining the “fiber frame” of reference and distinguish it from the laboratory frame of reference. The entire tensor—both diagonal and off diagonal elements are also needed to determine the principal diffusivities and principal directions, the diffusion ellipsoid and other tensor-derived quantities, which help characterize diffusion anisotropy.
