Diffusion
kurtosis imaging is a powerful technique to measure the non-gaussion diffusion
as well as the complicated microstructure. In this paper, we conducted a
comparison between different acquisitions with different maximum b-value on
normal volunteers. We found that the outcome of diffusion kurtosis imaging was
influenced by the maximum b-value in the acquisition. And this influence was
highly associated with the microstructure, including both radial profile and angular
profile in the structure reconstruction, which indicated the mechanism of
non-gaussion under high b-value.
