A diagram depicting the through-plane partial volume effect. When the direction of tissue transition (g) is parallel to the normal vector of the slice (n), the voxel at that location may include contributions from different tissue types. When g is close to being perpendicular to n, the voxel at that location is less likely to include different tissue types.
