A meta-analysis of structural neuroimaging studies in ADHD found prominent reductions in cerebellum [ 20], and a recent diffusion tensor study in youths with ADHD showed increased fractional anisotropy in white matter pathways connecting prefrontal and parietal-occipital areas with striatum and cerebellum [ 21].
Interestingly, NIBS might also leave microstructural traces in the stimulated brain networks: a recent diffusion MRI study in patients with poststroke aphasia reported increases in fMRI activation after intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) over the ipsilesional hemisphere [27].
A recent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study in CH found reduced fractional anisotropy (FA) in the pain matrix [12].
A recent diffusion tensor imaging study [10] associated recognition performance in prosopagnosics with the degree of structural integrity of the right Inferior Longitudinal Fasciculus (ILF).
In a recent in vivo diffusion kurtosis imaging study of early developmental changes in young transgenic HD rats, increased diffusivity measures were reported in the cerebral cortex and external capsule, while reduced axial kurtosis correlated to reduced myelin basic protein staining was observed in the dorsal striatum (Blockx et al. 2012).
These brain regions have also been partly observed in recent diffusion tensor imaging studies [ 27, 28].
In a recent pilot experimental study, diffusion MRI has demonstrated promising results in identifying complete tumour response [29]; nonetheless, these results need further confirmation and the usefulness of this imaging technique is limited in the case of small pulmonary nodules.
In a recent study by the same group, diffusion NMR was used for the separation and characterization of contaminants in pharmaceutical heparin [ 74].
The recent diffusion of web technologies in medical environments is deeply changing the work of radiologists and surgeons, allowing them to store and retrieve patient information, images but also reports and elaborated data.
In a recent study of 31 patients who underwent TAVR, diffusion-weighted MRI identified new cerebral infarcts in 77% of patients postoperatively.
In a recent study, Patzek et al. (2013) proposed a "diffusion-type" equation to model production decline from shale reservoirs.
