Influence of the Size and Curvedness of Neural Projections on the Orientationally Averaged Diffusion MR Signal

Neuronal and glial projections can be envisioned to be tubes of infinitesimal diameter as far as diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) measurements via clinical scanners are concerned. Recent experimental studies indicate that the decay of the orientationally-averaged signal in white-matter may be chara...
