Structure-based modelling of DWI in tissue is becoming a
powerful tool for probing microstructure and pathology.
A recent study demonstrated the feasibility of a
three-component structure-based model called VERDICT for
imaging prostate cancer in vivo with DWI at clinical
setting with high sensitivity and specificity. Motivated
by this new finding, this work investigated the
non-perfusion components of the VERDICT model in
prostate tissue ex vivo at 9.4 T. Seven compartment
models with up to 3 components were compared using
Akaikes information criterion. The best-performed
model had two compartments with one anisotropic and one
restricted compartment.
