Here we present our successful accurate estimation of
pore size distributions, with pores sizes of typical
cellular sizes, by the use of clinically applicable
pulsed field gradients. We used a double pulsed field
gradient (dPFG) diffusion weighted imaging scheme, with
analysis that is based on the Multiple Correlation
Function framework. We used a well calibrated phantom
and demonstrate successful reconstruction of
polydisperse distributions, composed of up to 3
different pores radii, with different volume fractions.
These results demonstrate that the q value limit
(size<1/q) can be broken, and biological cellular sizes
can potentially be estimated using a dPFG pulse
sequence.
