Dear Gary,
I used NODDI on one brain tumor patient and there are two regions with interesting NODDI values I would love to have you opinions:
1. in some CSF regions, fiso is high (=1) but odi is also very high (=0.704,highest value of the whole brain). In your paper I also notice some bright patches in CSF regions, and do you know what causes high odi in CSF?
2. in one edema region, fiso is moderately high (0.4) - implies there is tissue there. ficvf is kind of low (0.1), odi is very low (0.05), does it mean for the tissue underneath, only a small portion of water signal comes from intra-neurite (sticks model), most of it is extra-neurite (anisotropic gaussian diffusion)?
Thanks in advance!
