Abstract:To introduce frequency tuned bipolar (FTB) gradients as a variation of oscillating gradients to measure frequency dependent differences in kurtosis.Methods: An FTB oscillating gradient waveform is presented that provides encoding of 1.5 net oscillation periods to reduce the echo time of the acquisition. Monte Carlo optimization was performed to determine an optimal protocol based on simulated SNR of kurtosis dispersion maps -defined as the difference in apparent kurtosis between pulsed gradient and oscillating… Show more
