Synopsis

One main goal of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging is to infer microscopic tissue properties from the measured signal. The use of Monte-Carlo Simulations for DW-MRI on realistic substrates will help the study of DWI-MRI signals in controlled environments and to investigate, extract, and validate approaches for the understanding of white matter features. In this work, we present a novel framework for creating complex white matter phantoms with unprecedented characteristics like high packing density greater than 90% intra-axonal volume fraction and voxel size of (140 um)3.
