Non-vanishing diffusion kurtosis and time-dependent diffusion are both hallmarks of nongaussian diffusion in biological tissues. Here we combine measurements of time-dependent DTI parameters and time dependence of mean kurtosis using fast kurtosis imaging in rat spinal cord. We observe substantial time dependence of all parameters in both white and gray matter.
