This work proposes a new method, which we call spherical
mean technique (SMT), for estimating the microscopic
diffusion anisotropy unconfounded by neurite orientation
dispersion and crossing, which are ubiquitous in the
brain. A distinguishing feature of the method is that it
does not rely on complex diffusion sequences with
multiple gradient pulses or magic-angle spinning. We
will demonstrate SMT in an ex-vivo mouse brain study and
its capability for detecting hypomyelination conditions.
