Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy is performed in a large voxel in the mouse brain at two diffusion times, up to very high b-values. We combine different echo times and mixing times to investigate the potential interplay between relaxation properties and diffusion attenuation. Under current experimental conditions, we don’t observe any significant dependence of metabolite diffusion properties on TE/TM, except for water (and possibly NAA at very high b-values), which supports the interpretation and modeling of metabolite diffusion based primarily on geometry, irrespective of relaxation properties.
