In this work, our protocol leverages the most recent advances in the b-tensor diffusion encoding, and also uses a zoomed imaging technique, to specifically scan the hippocampus. Our sequence is able to acquire high-resolution images which enable direct delineation of hippocampal structures and allows estimation of advanced diffusion metrics, as well as parameters that can be measured from a standard multi-shell diffusion data set. Therefore, our acquisition can be used as an all-in-one sequence for microstructural imaging of the hippocampus. We also defined a subsampled acquisition protocol that is feasible for a clinical setting.
