A method and for estimating local diffusion anisotropy and global tractography within neural architecture from diffusion weighted magnetic resonance image (dMRI) data uses a computer processor to integrate a first dataset comprising standard single pulsed field gradient (sPFG) dMRI data with a second dataset comprising double pulsed field gradient (dPFG) dMRI data into a common coordinate system with the same spatial resolution. The resulting image includes integrated macroscopic and microscopic anisotropy and global tractography within the target volume.
