Recently, Double Diffusion Encoding (DDE) has been proposed for quantification of pore size distributions in a voxel or a Region Of Interest. Although the technique has been validated on animals with experimental MR systems, its translation to human scanners is challenging, mainly because of the limited gradient strength available on clinical systems. In this work, we present a validation of DDE on a clinical scanner on a biological phantom (asparagus). Furthermore, we restricted the acquisition time to 16 minutes which remains acceptable in clinical conditions.
