Popis: Although free-water diffusion reconstruction for diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data can be applied to both single-shell and multishell data, recent finding in synthetic data suggests that the free-water indices from single-shell acquisition should be interpreted with care, as they are heavily influenced by initialization parameters and cannot discriminate between free-water and mean diffusivity modifications. However, whether using a longer multishell acquisition protocol significantly improve reconstruction for real human MRI data is still an open question. In this study, we compare canonical diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), single-shell and multishell free-water imaging (FW) indices derived from a short, clinical compatible diffusion protocol (b = 500 s/mm
