We investigated the diffusion time dependency of diffusion metrics, especially ICVF and INVF, compared with ADC using an oscillating gradient spin-echo sequence in in vivo human white matter at 3T. Our results show that the change ratio of both ICVF and INVF indicate similar tendency in the same white matter locations, with or without diffusivity calculation. Moreover, with higher oscillating frequency, ICVF decreased but ISOVF stayed almost unchanged, indicating that the rate of ICVF and the extra-cellular component may change with oscillating frequency beside the unchanged isotropic water component.
