The non-Gaussianity of diffusion at high b-value, leads to poor estimates of fast diffusion components when using diffusion models that assume Gaussian diffusion distributions. Including the diffusion kurtosis in a bi-exponential model allows better quantification of the partial volume effects when large b-values are used. This study investigates how this improved model can provide a better estimate of the helix angle in fixed heart specimens.
