Figure 1
This illustrates the basic tensor shapes of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). If the diffusion is not restricted, the resulting tensor is a sphere (a). If the diffusion is restricted in only one direction, the resulting tensor is lens-shaped (b). If the diffusion is restricted in two directions, the resulting tensor is cigar-shaped (c).
