We report on the results of the application of several non-Gaussian (diffusion kurtosis, log-normal distribution function, stretched exponential function) and anomalous diffusion models to describe experimental data in the anisotropic fibre phantoms. We focus on the influence of fibre packing density on the quantitative metrics of these models and compare their sensitivity to this parameter. We examine the power-law dependences of the apparent diffusivity on time and fibre density in the frame of anomalous diffusion model.
