Recent advances in gradient technology, in particular based on the use of local gradient coils, have increased the available gradient strength by almost an order of magnitude. In this context, the question arises what slew rates are required to translate the higher gradient amplitudes into the improved assessment of shorter diffusion times given a certain b-value. This work shows that slew rates are important in high-gradient diffusion experiments (G≥300 mT/m), in particular in low b-value applications (b≤1000 s/mm²).
