title: Recollections about our 1996 JMR paper on diffusion anisotropy.
abstract: We provide scientific background information and personal accounts relating to our publication of "Microstructural and Physiological Features of Tissues Elucidated by Quantitative-Diffusion-Tensor MRI" in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance B. This paper provided a framework for measuring and mapping intrinsic features of diffusion anisotropy obtained from diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) data.
