Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) provides greater
sensitivity to microstructural differences due to its
capability of quantifying non-Gaussian diffusion
properties; however, the biological interpretation of
these DKI metrics has yet to be fully characterized,
especially in the cerebral cortex. In this study, we
acquired high resolution DKI data of a macaque brain and
compared the DKI metrics with histological image of
neurofilament staining. Slices with large cortical
variations in mean kurtosis (MK) corresponded well with
the density of neurofilament staining.
