Use of diffusion weighted steady-state free precession
(DW-SSFP) has been demonstrated to be well suited for
post-mortem human brain MRI. In this work we present
principle diffusion direction (PDD) estimates and
deterministic tractography results of high-resolution
post-mortem human brain DW-SSFP data collected at 7T.
Data were acquired with 0.5mm micron isotropic
resolution over 90 directions. PDD and tractography maps
demonstrate very thin structures that are invisible to
our 1mm acquisition protocol. The increased
resolvability of smaller structures suggests that
considering the time commitment required to perform this
acquisition, these data hold particular value.
