Table 2.

Overview of the clinical protocol, which includes multiple rotated versions of the family of q-space trajectories in Figure 4. The rotations were defined in order to sample evenly in all directions, using a nested icosahedral sampling scheme (Figure 7). The table includes the number of directions acquired for each b-tensor shape and b-value. The 6 directions were obtained from the icosahedron sampling scheme, 10 from the dodecahedron, 16 from the icosahedron and the dodecahedron, and 30 from the truncated icosahedron scheme [55]. This gives a scheme with in total 216 measurements.
