Non-Gaussian diffusion metrics such as MK from DKI can complement conventional MD and FA for detecting microstructural changes, especially in deep gray matter. This can potentially improve the efficacy of diffusion metrics for serving as diagnostic imaging biomarkers. We also provided evidence supporting the proposed notion that microstructural changes in cortical and deep gray matter predate macrostructural changes such as volume and cortical thickness.
