Along-axon diameter variation and axonal orientation dispersion revealed with 3D electron microscopy: implications for quantifying brain white matter microstructure with histology and diffusion MRI

Published in Brain Structure and Function, 2019

We developed a semi-automatic algorithm to segmented myelinated axons in the electron microscopy data of a mouse brain sample and analyzed its micro-geometry, such as axonal diameter, caliber variation, axonal undulation, and fiber orientation dispersion. The segmentation and analysis code can be downloaded here.

Effects of COVID-19 Prevention Measures on Other Common Infections, Taiwan

Published in Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020

We analyzed the National Health Insurance database in Taiwan, showing that rates of other infections were significantly lower after SARS-CoV-2 prevention measures were announced. This finding can be applied to cost-effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 prevention.

In vivo observation and biophysical interpretation of time-dependent diffusion in human cortical gray matter

Published in NeuroImage, 2020

In vivo diffusion MRI and Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the restriction along neurites is short-range disorder, and the diffusivity and kurtosis time-dependence scales as 1/√t. The 1-dimensional simulation code and power spectrum analysis can be downloaded here.

Realistic Microstructure Simulator (RMS): Monte Carlo simulations of diffusion in three-dimensional cell segmentations of microscopy images

Published in Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2021

Monte Calo simulation of diffusion in voxelized micro-geometry using CUDA C++. The code for narrow pulse PGSE could be downloaded here. The code for wide pulse PGSE will be released soon.
