Elliptical representation of a diffusion tensor with the 3 main axes: the longest axis stands for the primary eigenvector ( ), reflecting the diffusion parallel to the fibers; the two shorter axes represent the second ( ) and third ( ) eigenvectors, whose average provides a measure of diffusivity perpendicular to the fibers.
