Diffusion imaging has enormous potential for quantitative measurements of geometric properties that are directly relevant to brain function and pathology. We combine diffusion spectrum models of the intra- and extra-axonal space, where axons are idealized as randomly packed, parallel, impermeable cylinders with a distribution of radii. Model predictions are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and the model is fitted to diffusion spectra measured in brain specimens. The model accurately captures salient properties of the simulated diffusion spectra and estimates microstructural properties of the tissue that are in agreement with those found in literature.
