Diffusion MRI that goes beyond DTI is challenging at 7T due to the short transverse relaxation time. We address this inherent limitation of 7T by employing asymmetric gradient waveforms for diffusion encoding, and demonstrate that imaging of microscopic diffusion anisotropy is feasible at a 7T system.
