The purpose of this work is to analyse the impact of
diffusion time in estimating axonal density and axonal
diameters using STEAM diffusion at 7T. Using a 2-ways
ANOVA, we demonstrate that the estimates of axonal
density obtained at different diffusion times are
significantly different. In addition, by accounting for
the diffusion time dependency of the extra-axonal
signal, we show that estimates of axonal diameter in
agreement with histology can be obtained.
