How Important Is Anisotropy?

The white matter of the brain contains axons, which are bundled into fiber tracts and serve as communication pathways in the brain. The coherent orientation of fibers in white matter, which lead to the anisotropy in the mechanical response of the white matter, plays an important role in the development of injury.

Why is anisotropy important?

Anisotropy measures describe the directional dominance of water diffusion within a region. Within a voxel, the anisotropy provides an index of the degree of uniformity of water diffusion for a specific orientation.

What is the use of anisotropic?

In the field of computer graphics, an anisotropic surface changes in appearance as it rotates about its geometric normal, as is the case with velvet. Anisotropic filtering (AF) is a method of enhancing the image quality of textures on surfaces that are far away and steeply angled with respect to the point of view.
