The model is typically fit voxel-by-voxel to the MRI image with least squares minimisation to give voxelwise maps of parameters relating to microstructural features, such as diffusivities and tissue compartment fractions. However, this fitting approach is susceptible to voxelwise noise, which can lead to erroneous values in parameter maps. Data-driven Bayesian hierarchical modelling defines prior distributions on parameters and learns them from the data, and can hence reduce such noise effects. Bayesian hierarchical modelling has been demonstrated for microstructure imaging with diffusion MRI, but only for a few, relatively simple, models. In this paper, we generalise hierarchical Bayesian modelling to a wide range of multi-compartment microstructural models, and fit the models with a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. We implement our method by utilising Dmipy, a microstructure modelling software package for diffusion MRI data.
