White matter integrity, fiber count, and other fallacies: The do's and don'ts of diffusion MRI
Abstract
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) has been increasingly used in imaging neuroscience over the last decade. An early form of this technique, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was rapidly implemented by major MRI scanner companies as a scanner selling point. Due to the ease of use of such implementations, and the plausibility of some of their results, DTI was leapt on by imaging neuroscientists who saw it as a powerful and unique new tool for exploring the structural connectivity of human brain. However, DTI is a rather approximate technique, and its results have frequently been given implausible interpretations that have escaped proper critique and have appeared misleadingly in journals of high reputation. In order to encourage the use of improved DW-MRI methods, which have a better chance of characterizing the actual fiber structure of white matter, and to warn against the misuse and misinterpretation of DTI, we review the physics of DW-MRI, indicate currently preferred methodology, and explain the limits of interpretation of its results. We conclude with a list of 'Do's and Don'ts' which define good practice in this expanding area of imaging neuroscience.

“We caution that the behaviour of the DTI indices in the human brain, which is characterized by a high density of crossing fibre that influence DTI measures (Jeurissen et al., 2013), is only partially understood and remains speculative (Jones et al., 2013).”

“DTI alterations may stem from a variety of tissue changes including altered crossing fibres, permeability of the axonal membrane, inflammation, or oedema (Jones et al., 2013).”

In the citing paper
“However, because of the difference in resolution between the measured dMRI signal and actual axon dimensions (as described in Section 3.3: “Connection density biases”), many studies have emphasized that NOS does not provide a truly quantitative measure of connection strength (Jones, 2010; Jones et al., 2013; Sotiropoulos and Zalesky, 2019; Yeh et al., 2020).”

“For example, many factors (e.g., cell death, edema, gliosis, inflammation, change in myelination, increase in connectivity of crossing fibers, increase in extracellular or intracellular water, etc.) may cause changes in FA (Assaf and Pasternak, 2008; Jones et al., 2013; Le Bihan and Johansen-Berg, 2012).”

“DTI is a highly sensitive tool that allows in vivo assessment of the microstructure of WM tracts, which include but are not limited to: axon diameter, axon packing density, membrane permeability, myelination, and architectural paradigm [31].”

“Despite these results, the interpretation of FA being a surrogate marker of axon density is impaired in regions with crossing or fanning neuron-fibers because it is sensitive to both microstructure and intravoxel fiber orientation dispersion ( Jones et al., 2013; Tournier et al., 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
