We investigate the effect of the sub-voxel patterning of permeability in muscle tissue on the diffusion signal via a finite element simulation of diffusion MRI on a model of muscle tissue. We observe that permeability with a disordered pattern leads to statistically significant differences in diffusion signal at high b and longer diffusion times.
