a diffusion MRI index of how strongly water diffusion follows one direction in tissue, commonly read as white matter microstructural integrity.

In neuroscience, fractional anisotropy refers to a diffusion MRI index of how strongly water diffusion follows one direction in tissue, commonly read as white matter microstructural integrity. This meaning comes from Basser (1996) in Journal of Magnetic Resonance, Series B.[1]
