Kurtosis imaging enables valuable diagnostics of stroke and other tissue pathologies. It can arise directly from restricted diffusion, but also from sub-voxel heterogeneity in the ADC. Utilizing double diffusion contrast, we are able to remove these heterogeneity contributions. We show this targeted ‘microscopic’ kurtosis contrast yields unique contrast in-vivo in a live rat brain: highlighting white/gray matter boundaries.
