Diffusion kurtosis imaging is an emerging technique based on non-gaussian diffusion of water in biologic systems and provides complementary information to the traditional diffusion. Although the method is very promising in identifying new biomarkers, it suffers from long time acquisition, which is very challenging in . However, a recent technique, named simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) acquisition, allows multiple slices acquisition thus drastically reducing the acquisition time. The purpose of this work is then to study the robustness of diffusion kurtosis in children when acquired via sms method.
