Diffusion imaging has enormous potential for quantitative measurements of geometric properties that are directly relevant to brain function and pathology. We validate a previously presented diffusion spectrum model of the extra-axonal space using a phantom consisting of randomly packed solid fibers. Measured diffusion spectra and estimated microstructural properties of the phantom are compared with those from Monte Carlo simulations and model fitting. The model accurately captures salient properties of the diffusion spectrum and estimates the microstructural properties of the phantom.
