Oscillating gradient spin-echo (OGSE) sequences typically suffer low diffusion sensitization and long echo times, thereby compromising the diffusion-to-noise ratio (DNR). To address these issues, recently proposed OGSE shapes providing increased diffusion sensitization were combined with single-shot spiral readout trajectories using a high-performance gradient system. This implementation was used to study the frequency dependence of diffusivity in the in-vivo human brain for OGSE frequencies up to 125 Hz and b-values up to 1000 s/mm2, yielding an improved depiction of diffusion dispersion. The results indicate the significance of higher b-values in characterizing this relationship.
