On clinical scanners, high b-value diffusion studies using SE-EPI suffer from the need for long TEs, which leads to signal loss due to T2 decay. Stimulated-Echo EPI permits high b-values together with short TEs on clinical scanners. We demonstrate that tractograms obtained from high b-value STE-EPI images are clean even in regions where tractograms from SE-EPI images with the same b-values break down.
