Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI)
is a recent model-based diffusion MRI technique that has
gained rapid uptake in the clinical setting owing to the
availability of an economical protocol. This work aims
to empirically determine a similar protocol for the
preclinical setting that provides the best trade-off
between acquisition time and accuracy of parameter
estimation. By assessing a broad range of the subset
protocols extracted from a rich dataset with many
b-values and repetitions, we find that NODDI parameters
can be accurately estimated with a protocol that is less
than an hour.
