Self-diffusion reports on binding events, restrictions and anisotropies of the system from porous rock to biological tissue, and can be measured using pulsed gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR. Double-pulsed gradient spin-echo (DPGSE) is useful for probing molecular dynamics as well as pore sizes and orientation, giving more information than single PGSE measurements. This work investigates angular DPGSE profiles (i.e., equivalent gradient strengths for each PGSE block of the DPGSE but with varying angular separation) in prostate tissue and the use of DTI results to simulate the DPGSE profile for a one-voxel DPGSE measurement.
