Synopsis
Cross modal validation of micro-architectural features derived from diffusion MRI with contrast from other imaging modalities is critical for developing reliable imaging biomarkers. Here, we map apparent soma and neurite densities via the SANDI methodology in the in-vivo mouse brain at 9.4T and compared the derived metrics with the contrast from the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas which reflects cell body density in the brain. Our findings suggest that soma signal fraction correlates well with atlas intensities in different parts of the brain.
