The goal of this study was to demonstrate the
feasibility of acquiring 7T data suitable for NODDI in
under 6 minutes with a tailored multiband technique for
routine clinical application. In a brain tumor patient
NODDI provided unique contrast within the T2 lesion.
Although NODDI does not directly model tumor
characteristics, it demonstrates great potential in
revealing underlying tissue components that are
complimentary to FA and ADC. With the multiband EPI
technique, we reduced the acquisition time of this
two-shell diffusion sequence to 5.5 minutes, making it
clinically feasible. In addition to NODDI, both
diffusion tensor and tractography data can also be
generated from this protocol.
