We hypothesize that the model will fail to describe the signals from grey matter due to an abundance of cell bodies. Using high b-value (≥3 ms/µm ) data from rat and human brain, we show that the assumption fails for grey matter. Using diffusion simulation in realistic digital models of neurons/glia, we demonstrate the breakdown of the assumption can be explained by the presence of cell bodies. Our findings suggest that high b-value data may be used to probe cell bodies. date: 2018-06-16 date_type: published publisher: ISMRM (International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine) official_url: https://www.ismrm.org/18m/ oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1658742 lyricists_name: Alexander, Daniel lyricists_name: Palombo, Marco lyricists_name: Zhang, Hui lyricists_id: DALEX06 lyricists_id: MPALO05 lyricists_id: HZHAN50 actors_name: Nonhebel, Lucinda actors_id: LNONH33 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: ISMRM (International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine) volume: 2018 place_of_pub: Concord, CA, USA event_title: Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB 2018, 16-21 June 2018, Paris, France institution: Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB 2018 book_title: Proceedings of the Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB 2018 editors_name: Miller, KL editors_name: Port, JD citation: Palombo, M; Shemesh, N; Ianus, A; Alexander, D; Zhang, H; (2018) Abundance of cell bodies can explain the stick model’s failure in grey matter at high bvalue.
