Abstract

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has evolved to provide increasingly sophisticated investigations of the human brain's structural connectome in vivo. Restriction spectrum imaging (RSI) is a method that reconstructs the orientation distribution of diffusion within tissues over a range of length scales. In its original formulation, RSI represented the signal as consisting of a…
