This paper provides comparisons between microstructure and two-dimensional fiber orientations measured optically using polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) and those estimated from ultra-high-field diffusion MRI (dMRI) at 10.5T in the macaque brain. The PS-OCT imaging is done at an in-plane resolution of [~]10 microns in and around the thalamus. Whole brain dMRI is acquired at an isotropic resolution of 0.75 mm. We provide comparisons between cross-polarization and optical orientation from PS-OCT with the fractional anisotropy and two-dimensional orientations extracted from dMRI using a diffusion tensor model. The orientations from PS-OCT are also extracted computationally using a structure tensor. Additionally, we demonstrate the utility of mesoscale, PS-OCT imaging in improving the MRI resolution by learning the mapping between these contrasts using a super-resolution Generative Adversarial Network.
