We have proposed an extended SMT framework to estimate intra and extra-axonal T2 along with volume fraction and axial and radial diffusivity. A numerical framework is also presented to estimate all parameters for a typical multi-shell diffusion protocol.
Axial Slice of intra and extra-axonal T2. Higher values in the internal capsule show highly myelinated axons.
Axial Slice of intra-axonal volume fraction. Estimated intra-axonal volume shows a clear segmentation of white matter tissue that is consistent with SMT model.
