NODDI (Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging) is a recent diffusion MRI technique for directly quantifying microstructual indices of neurites using clinically feasible acquisition. It has been shown to be able to disentangle the key microstructural contributors to the standard measures from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). This study assesses the scan-rescan reproducibility of NODDI in healthy subjects in comparison to DTI. The results show that NODDI has high reproducibility comparable to that of DTI.
