Abstract :
This study reported the multi-component decaying behavior on diffusion-weighted MR images with b values up to 3000 sec/mm2. Signal intensity was measured in different regions of the brain. Results showed that gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid exhibited single exponential decaying characteristics while multi-component decaying behavior was observed in some white matter areas with complicated neural fiber orientations.
