This work describes a quantitative approach to obtain
absolute tissue density, focusing on fiber density,
directly from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. Such
measures can be used to map brain fiber and cell
densities and to quantitatively characterize disease
progression. The proposed technique uses prior knowledge
of myelin and cell membrane densities to correlate
relative intra-cellular and intra-neurite density values
obtained from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging to
absolute tissue density values. The proposed method is
based on the NODDI (neurite orientation distribution and
density imaging) technique, which can be scanned with
clinically feasible acquisition protocol.
