Diffusion nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful technique for studying porous media, but yields ambiguous results when the sample comprises multiple regions with different pore sizes, shapes, and orientations. Inspired by solid-state NMR techniques correlating isotropic anisotropic chemical shifts, we propose diffusion method to resolve said ambiguity. Numerical data inversion relies on sparse representation of in basis radial axial diffusivities. Experiments are performed composite...

Abstract Despite their widespread use in non-invasive studies of porous materials, conventional MRI methods yield ambiguous results for microscopically heterogeneous materials such as brain tissue. While the forward link between microstructure and observables is well understood, inverse problem separating signal contributions from different microscopic pores notoriously difficult. Here, we introduce an experimental protocol where heterogeneity resolved by establishing 6D correlations...

Abstract Diffusion MRI techniques are used widely to study the characteristics of human brain connectome in vivo. However, resolve and characterise white matter (WM) fibres heterogeneous voxels remains a challenging problem typically approached with signal models that rely on prior information constraints. We have recently introduced 5D relaxation–diffusion correlation framework wherein multidimensional diffusion encoding strategies acquire data at multiple echo‐times increase amount encoded...

Specific features of white matter microstructure can be investigated by using biophysical models to interpret relaxation-diffusion MRI brain data.

In biological tissues, typical MRI voxels comprise multiple microscopic environments, the local organization of which can be captured by diffusion tensors. The measured signal can, therefore, written as multidimensional Laplace transform an intravoxel tensor distribution (DTD). Tensor‐valued encoding schemes have been designed to probe specific features DTD, and several algorithms introduced invert such data estimate statistical descriptors mean diffusivity, variance isotropic diffusivities,...

Abstract. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary method for noninvasive investigations of human brain in health, disease, and development but yields data that are difficult to interpret whenever millimeter-scale voxels contain multiple microscopic tissue environments with different chemical structural properties. We propose a novel MRI framework quantify heterogeneity living as spatially resolved five-dimensional relaxation–diffusion distributions by augmenting conventional...

Diffusion tensor distribution (DTD) imaging builds on principles from diffusion, solid‐state and low‐field NMR spectroscopies, to quantify the contents of heterogeneous voxels as nonparametric distributions, with “size”, “shape” orientation having direct relations corresponding microstructural properties biological tissues. The approach requires acquisition multiple images a function magnitude, shape direction diffusion‐encoding gradients, leading long times unless fast image read‐out...
