Abstract
In a magnetic resonance (MR) method and apparatus, MR signals are acquired in multiple diffusion measurements using a defined set of parameters in the respective measurements that differ in terms of at least one MR parameter from measurement-to-measurement, thereby producing a measured MR signal dataset. Multiple calculated datasets are calculated using a model, with a defined number of model parameters in each calculated dataset, but in different combinations, with each calculated dataset having an MR signal intensity. The measured MR signal having a closest match to the measured MR signal dataset, using a quality criterion based on the MR signal intensity, is identified, and the diffusion parameter is obtained from the calculated dataset having the closest match.
