Abstract

Inventive technology is directed to diffusion weighted magnetic resonance measurements. In an embodiment, a method for performing a diffusion weighted magnetic resonance measurement on a sample includes operating a magnetic resonance scanner to apply a diffusion encoding sequence to the sample. The method also includes operating the magnetic resonance scanner to acquire from the sample one or more echo signals. The diffusion encoding sequence includes a diffusion encoding time-dependent magnetic field gradient g(t) with non-zero components gl(t) along at least two orthogonal directions y and z, and a b-tensor having at least two non-zero eigenvalues, the magnetic field gradient comprising a first and subsequent second encoding block.
