Fig. 1

Major parts of the pipeline from image acquisition to the primary (partial least squares) analysis of this study are shown, with major sections shown with a light gray background. Green boxes refer to parts of the multiparametric-mapping (MPM) processing pipeline. Pink boxes refer to parts of the diffusion processing pipeline. Smaller intermediary processes (e.g. denoising) are shown with text along arrows and intermediary products (e.g. transform matrices) are shown in a dark gray box. Images for all masks are shown in more detail in Supplemental Information.
