The base regression neural network is depicted in the center which describes the parameters of the fullyconnected dense layers with respective activation functions. The plot at left: Depicts three inputs where the center input
comes from corresponding DW-MRI with histology. The other two are pairwise inputs from corresponding voxels of
scanner 1.5T and 3T. The plot at right: Depicts the loss function which uses the hypothesis that the outcome/prediction
should be same irrespective of the scanner gradient strength.

Fig. 1. Effects of incorrect b-vector tables. Diffusion encoded color (DEC) maps and vector maps are shown for a correct gradient table (A), a table with a flipped component (B), and one with permuted components (C). With a flipped component, the DEC map may appear correct, but unit vectors will be flipped in one plane (coronal plane in this example), and will appear correct in another (axial). For a permuted table, both the color maps and vectors will be erroneous. In both (B) and (C), directions are incorrect, and subsequent analysis and tractography will also be erroneous. DEC and vector maps are colored red, green, and blue for diffusion primarily in the right/left, anterior/posterior, and superior/inferior directions, respectively. (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)

Learning 3D White Matter Microstructure from 2D Histology

Apr. 1, 2019—Histological analysis is typically the gold standard for validating measures of tissue microstructure derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrasts. However, most histological investigations are inherently 2-dimensional (2D), due to increased field-of-view, higher in-plane resolutions, ease of acquisition, decreased costs, and a large number of available contrasts compared to 3-dimensional (3D) analysis. Because of this,...

Response functions estimated using conventional methods differ from the histologically derived response functions. Kernels estimated using the highest FA voxels, the iterative calibration method, and modeled from the diffusion tensor are shown in two views. The average histologically derived response function for each monkey (across 6 z stacks) is shown (monkeys 1–3 correspond to A‐C) along with the mean (red) and mean ± standard deviation (gray) surfaces to highlight variability. Note that differences in magnitude are due to differing normalization in our work and in MRTrix3. Shape, and not magnitude, determines the final FOD shape
