This work demonstrates
neurite
orientation dispersion and density imaging
(NODDI)
as a tool for investigating microstructural substrates
of white matter abnormalities in a clinical population.
NODDI estimates indices of neurite density (NDI) and
orientation dispersion (ODI), two key contributors of
fractional anisotropy (FA) from diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI). We show that NODDI analysis of multi-shell
diffusion-weighted data adds microstructural specificity
to the findings from DTI. Findings from the NODDI
indices overlap substantially with FA, revealing the
specific microstructural changes corresponding to the
latter. We additionally demonstrate that NODDI analysis
of single-shell data can potentially be used for
detecting ODI changes.
