TL;DR: US and kNN showed a good precision, accuracy and comparability for brain volume measurements and is a good alternative if volume change measurements of other brain structures are required.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiscale feature-based rigid-body coregistration technique for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based on the local curvature and torsion of the white matter (WM) fiber pathways is presented.

TL;DR: Simulated diffusion tensor data sets are developed, which can model an array of anomalies in the diffusion properties of a predefined location and can be employed to evaluate the numerous parameters that characterize the pipeline of a VBA algorithm and to compare the accuracy, precision, and reproducibility of different post-processing approaches quantitatively.

TL;DR: Diffusion and volume changes in the cingulum bundle, superior longitudinal fasciculi, reticular activating system, and corpus callosum were related to variations in attention functioning in the very preterm children.

TL;DR: Decoupling of connectivity, measured as the absolute difference between structural and functional connectivity, in the high WMH group was related to poorer executive functioning and memory performance, suggesting that such decoupling may reflect reorganization of functional networks in response to global white matter pathology.
