Diffusion-PEPTIDE incorporates the recently developed rapid multi-shot relaxometry technique Propeller EPTI with Dynamic Encoding (PEPTIDE) into a diffusion acquisition scheme. PEPTIDE enables fast acquisition of distortion- and blurring-free images, time-resolved for different timepoints with varying T2 & T2* weighting, with self-navigation for correction of shot-to-shot phase-variation and motion. Diffusion-PEPTIDE is demonstrated here to enable distortion-free in vivo diffusion-relaxometry with large parameter space in an sensible acquisition time.
