Abstract
Diffusion sensitizing gradient pulse pairs are prescribed in a manner to mitigate effects of concomitant gradient artifacts. Measured MR signals generated by applying a plurality of diffusion sensitizing gradient matrices are obtained and processed to determine a second order mean diffusion tensor and a fourth order covariance tensor. Quantities derived from these tensors are measured and mapped within an imaging volume which describe features of diffusion anisotropy and heterogeneity within each imaging voxel.
