Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging
Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) is an advanced MRI technique that provides detailed insights into the brain's wiring. It measures how nerve fibers (neurites) are arranged and how dense they are in different brain regions. By analyzing the way these fibers are oriented and packed, NODDI helps researchers and clinicians understand the microstructure of the brain, aiding in the study of development, diseases, and injuries affecting neural pathways. It offers a clearer picture of brain connectivity without needing invasive procedures.
