Abstract
In the studying of fibers microstructure of brain white matter, many reconstruction methods have been proposed to interpret the diffusion-weighted signal. Those methods can be categorized into model-based and model-free methods. In this paper, the diffusion configuration of water molecules are discussed, and two questions are put forward to analyze the performance of the current algorithms about diffusion configuration.
