Finding models that are more descriptive than the standard Diffusion Tensor is necessary in producing better disease biomarkers that provide more specificity to the physiological changes and sensitivity to the pathological impact of the disease in the body. This work investigates which compartment models of diffusion MRI are best at describing the signal from in-vivo human brain white matter, and how reproducible these results are across acquisition sessions.This study helps clinicians and medical physicists in choosing models for future in-vivo brain microstructure imaging.
