Abstract
According to an aspect of the present inventive concept there is provided a method of performing diffusion weighted magnetic resonance measurements on a sample, the method includes performing diffusion weighted magnetic resonance measurements on the sample, where the measurements include a first measurement with a first diffusion encoding sequence having a first diffusion weighting tensor representation B1 with at least two non-zero eigenvalues and a second measurement with a second diffusion encoding sequence having a second diffusion weighting tensor representation B2 with at least two non-zero eigenvalues. The first tensor representation B1 and the second tensor representation B2 have a same number of non-zero eigenvalues, where the eigenvalues of the first tensor representation B1 matching the eigenvalues of the second tensor representation B2, and the first and the second diffusion encoding sequences are configured to present a matching average spectral content; and to present a different degree of spectral anisotropy.
