Modelling white matter microstructure using diffusion OGSE MRI: Model and analysis choices.

Alterations in white matter (WM) microstructure of the central nervous system have been shown to be pathophysiological presentations of various neurodegenerative disorders. Current methods for measuring such WM features require ex vivo tissue samples analyzed using electron microscopy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) diffusion-weighted pulse sequences provide a non-invasive tool for estimating such microstructural features in vivo.
