Neurite Orientation and Dispersion Density Imaging (NODDI)

Neurite Orientation and Dispersion Density Imaging (NODDI) is an advanced MRI technique that visualizes the brain's microscopic structure, focusing on nerve fibers called neurites. It measures how these fibers are oriented, how densely packed they are, and how much they branch or spread out. This information helps researchers and doctors understand brain tissue health, connectivity, and changes due to injury or disease. By providing detailed insights into nerve fiber organization without invasive procedures, NODDI enhances our ability to study brain function and diagnose neurological conditions.
