New dMRI methodology uncovers additional alterations in migraine
AMURA (https://www.lpi.tel.uva.es/AMURA), the new tool developed by LPI members, has been used to compare diffusion measures in patients with episodic and chronic migraine and healthy controls using clinical routine diffusion MRI acquisition parameters. Using AMURA, additional statistically significant differences were found with respect to the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) descriptors. This article demonstrates that AMURA can provide additional results with respect to DTI to uncover white matter alterations in migraine, even in suboptimal conditions for the tool with a single low b-value.
The new paper, entitled "Alternative Microstructural Measures to Complement Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Migraine Studies with Standard MRI Acquisition", has been published in Brain Sciences. The article is available here (Open Access): https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci10100711
