This study compares high resolution in vivo and ex vivo diffusion imaging of mouse brain at 11.7T. The study shows that even with the advancement in image sequences and equipment, ex vivo imaging remains superior to in vivo imaging in terms of resolution with clear delineation of brain structures. However, fractional anisotropy values obtained from ex vivo imaging may not be a true representation of the in vivo condition. Nonetheless, the resolution obtained from in vivo imaging should allow for longitudinal studies.
