Although many models have been proposed to interpret non-Gaussian diffusion MRI data in biological tissues, it is often difficult to see the correlation between the MRI data and the histological changes in the tissue. In this work, a statistical model based on the gamma distribution is proposed. Using this model, the diffusion MR data is well fitted, and histological interpretation of the data is possible.
