Fractional Anisotropy
Hi,
I have been trying to mathematically derive the formula to find FRACTIONAL ANISOTROPYrn(Fractional anisotropy is a method that is used to emphasize and evaluate white matter fiber tracts)

The formula that is given in many textbooks and published paper

FA= Squareroot(3/2) * (Sqaureroot[ (lambda1-lambda)^2 + (lambda2-lambda)^2 + (lambda3-lambda)^2]/ Sqaureroot( Lambda1^2+Lambda2^2+Lambda3^2))



I understand the purpose of Lambda but unable to understand the need for SQUAREROOT (3/2)rnrnPlease do kindly explain the reason behind having SQUAREROOT(3/2) for the Fractional Anisotropy formula

If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible he is almost certainly right, but if he says that it is impossible he is very probably wrong.
