Bundle-Specific Axon Diameter Index as a New Contrast to Differentiate White Matter Tracts

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alessandro Daducci, Cristina Granziera, Muhamed Barakovic, Maxime Descoteaux, Giorgio Innocenti

In the central nervous system of primates, several pathways are characterized by different spectra of axon diameters. In vivo methods, based on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, can provide axon diameter index estimates non-invasively. However ...
