Axon diameter index estimation independent of fiber orientation distribution using high-gradient diffusion MRI.

Abstract:

:Axon diameter mapping using high-gradient diffusion MRI has generated great interest as a noninvasive tool for studying trends in axonal size in the human brain. One of the main barriers to mapping axon diameter across the whole brain is accounting for complex white matter fiber configurations (e.g., crossings and fanning), which are prevalent throughout the brain. Here, we present a framework for generalizing axon diameter index estimation to the whole brain independent of the underlying fiber orientation distribution using the spherical mean technique (SMT). This approach is shown to significantly benefit from the use of real-valued diffusion data with Gaussian noise, which reduces the systematic bias in the estimated parameters resulting from the elevation of the noise floor when using magnitude data with Rician noise. We demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining whole-brain orientationally invariant estimates of axon diameter index and relative volume fractions in six healthy human volunteers using real-valued diffusion data acquired on a dedicated high-gradient 3-Tesla human MRI scanner with 300 mT/m maximum gradient strength. The trends in axon diameter index are consistent with known variations in axon diameter from histology and demonstrate the potential of this generalized framework for revealing coherent patterns in axonal structure throughout the living human brain. The use of real-valued diffusion data provides a viable solution for eliminating the Rician noise floor and should be considered for all spherical mean approaches to microstructural parameter estimation.
