Age‐related changes in fiber tracts in healthy adult brains: A generalized q‐sampling and connectometry study

Generalized q‐sampling (GQI) and connectometry analysis provide new indices, i.e., quantitative anisotropy (QA) and spin distribution function (SDF) in comparison with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). They may provide more age‐related changes in white matter (WM) in aging.
