q-space imaging (QSI) is an advanced diffusion-weighted imaging technique to explore the water displacement profile. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of maximal b value and sampling interval on water displacement profile in simulation and validate it in clinical application of the brain. Our preliminary finding demonstrated that the proposed sampling pattern provides an alternative to obtain QSI images and reliable MD and ZDP measurements with a shorter acquisition time, which may be helpful in the implementation of in vivo brain q-space imaging in clinical application.
