Predicted GD concentration after infusion in a WM region of the brain. Top: schematic drawing representing the catheter and the section plane corresponding to the contours below. Middle: GD concentration contours obtained with the DTI and the DTI-NODDI models at 180 s. The double headed arrows represent the resulting permeability vectors on different voxels. They were obtained by summing the parallel and perpendicular components of the permeability tensor and then projecting the resulting vector on the relevant plane. Bottom: Comparison between the DTI model (red) and the DTI-NODDI model (blue) in terms of GD distribution outlines defined as the more external elements with a GD concentration higher than .
