“…This motivated novel developments based on i) higher angular estimation of fibre orientation by constrained spherical deconvolution (Tournier et al, 2004) optimized tractography (see below) and ii) a more complex modelling of microstructure. Latter includes the usage of multi-tensor models (Malcolm et al, 2010, Chu et al, 2015 or diffusion kurtosis imaging (Jensen et al, 2005a), a model free fitting measuring deviation from a Gaussian distributed signal, which has been used for clinical prediction studies evaluating e.g., the corticospinal tract in stroke (Hui et al, 2012, Spampinato et al, 2017. A very promising approach, especially for the usage in clinical research, is the compartment model framework.…”
