Noninvasive estimation of mean axon diameter presents a new opportunity to explore white matter plasticity, development, and pathology. Several diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) methods have been proposed to measure the average axon diameter in white matter, but they typically require many diffusion encoding measurements and complicated mathematical models to fit the signal to multiple tissue compartments, including intra- and extra-axonal spaces. Here, Monte Carlo simulations uncovered a straightforward DW-MRI metric of axon diameter: the change in radial apparent diffusion coefficient estimated at different effective diffusion times, ΔD⊥. Simulations indicated that this metric increases monotonically within a relevant range of effective mean axon diameter while being insensitive to changes in extra-axonal volume fraction, axon diameter distribution, g-ratio, and influence of myelin water. Also, a monotonic relationship was found to exist for signals coming from both intra- and extra-axonal compartments. The slope in ΔD⊥ with effective axon diameter increased with the difference in diffusion time of both oscillating and pulsed gradient diffusion sequences.
