Abstract | PURPOSE: To assess the reliability of measuring diffusivity, diffusional kurtosis, and cellular-interstitial water exchange time with long diffusion times (100-800 ms) using stimulated-echo DWI. METHODS: D RESULTS: D CONCLUSIONS: Based on two well-established diffusion phantoms, we found that time-dependent diffusion MRI measurements can provide stable diffusion and kurtosis values over a wide range of diffusion times and across multiple MRI systems. Moreover, estimation of cellular-interstitial water exchange time can be achieved using the Kärger model for the metastatic lymph nodes in patients with head and neck cancer. |
