We demonstrate the feasibility of applying microstructural models of diffusion to sub-millimeter isotropic resolution whole brain images in-vivo. The NODDI model was successfully fitted to a 700µm DWI dataset acquired using the generalized SLIce Dithered Enhanced Resolution Simultaneous MultiSlice (gSlider-SMS) acquisition¹. We demonstrate the ability to map finer-scale structures using this high-resolution data when compared to traditional multi-shell 2 mm isotropic acquisition.
