Visualization of diffusion compartments in the NODDI model.

Viso and Vic are the volume fraction of the free isotropic diffusion and intra-axonal compartment, respectively. The extracellular volume fraction is Vec = (1 – Vic), a complement number to Vic. Aiso, Aic, and Aec are the normalized diffusion signal contributed from individual diffusion compartments. Aec: Diffusion signal from extra-axonal water; Aic: diffusion signal from intra-axonal water; Aiso: diffusion signal from isotropic fast diffusion; NODDI: neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging; Vec: volume fraction for extra-cellular water; Vic: volume fraction for intra-axonal water; Viso: volume fraction for isotropic fast diffusion; CSF: cerebrospinal fluid.
