Abstract
A system and method for diffusion weighted magnetic resonance measurement includes performing a diffusion encoding sequence that comprises a diffusion encoding time-dependent magnetic field gradient g(t) with non-zero components g(t) along two orthogonal directions (y, z), and a b-tensor having at least two non-zero eigenvalues. The gradient g(t) comprises a first and second encoding block. An n-th order gradient moment magnitude along direction l∈(y,z) is given by |M(t)|=∫g(t')t′dt′|, and the first encoding block is adapted to yield, at an end of the first encoding block, along y, |M(t)|≤Tfor each 0≤n≤m, where Tis a predetermined n-th order threshold, and, along z, |M(t)|≤Tfor each 0≤ n≤ m−1 and |M(t)|>Tfor n=m. The second encoding block is adapted to yield, at an end of the second encoding block, along each one of l∈(y,z): |M(t)|≤Tfor each 0≤n≤ m, wherein m is an integer order equal to or greater than 1.
