In histology, measuring anisotropic diffusion often involves advanced imaging techniques. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), a type of MRI, is frequently used to visualize and quantify anisotropic diffusion. This technique measures the diffusion of water molecules in tissues and can reveal the directional dependence of this diffusion. DTI is particularly useful in studying white matter tracts in the brain, where anisotropic diffusion is pronounced due to the alignment of axonal fibers.
