Numerical Simulations of Double-Wave-Vector Diffusion-Weighting Experiments with Multiple Concatenations at Short Mixing Times
Introduction Double-wave-vector diffusion-weighting experiments where two diffusion weighting periods are applied successively in a single acquisition [1] are a promising tool to investigate tissue microstructure. For instance, cell or compartment sizes can be estimated from the signal modulation signal with the angle between the two wave vectors if a short mixing time between the two diffusion...
متن کاملDouble-wave-vector diffusion-weighting experiments with multiple concatenations at long mixing times.
MR sequences where two diffusion-weighting periods are applied successively in a single acquisition seem to be a promising tool for the investigation of tissue structure on a microscopic level such as the characterization of the compartment size or eccentricity measures of pores. However, the application of such double-wave-vector (DWV) experiments on whole-body MR systems is hampered by the lo...

MR sequences where two diffusion-weighting periods are applied successively in a single acquisition [1] seem to be a promising tool for the investigation of tissue structure on a microscopic level such as the characterization of the size and eccentricity of cells or compartments [2,3]. However, the application of these double-wave-vector diffusion-weighting (DWV) experiments [1] on whole-body M...
متن کاملA Tensor Approach for Double Wave Vector Experiments on Microscopic Anisotropy
Double wave-vector experiments (DWV) [1] involving two diffusion-weightings applied successively in a single experiment have been shown to be successful for the investigation of tissue micro-structure [2,4]. For short mixing times τm between the two wave vectors, the cell or compartment size can be estimated and a theoretical description was provided in terms of a tensor model [3] generalizing ...
متن کاملEvidence for Microscopic Diffusion Anisotropy in Spinal Cord Tissue Observed with DWV Imaging on a Whole-Body MR System
Double-wave-vector diffusion-weighting (DWV) experiments [1] can be used to characterize local spin diffusion in tissue. They have been successfully applied to detect restricted diffusion [2] and diffusion anisotropy present on a microscopic level in macroscopically isotropic samples [3]. Thereby, the additional degree of freedom, the angle between the two wave vectors, is explored by rotating ...
