Diffusion pore imaging (DPI) can be used to retrieve the pore space function of arbitrary closed pores. In this study, we show that DPI of glass capillaries is possible even under difficult experimental conditions. By separating the long gradient into a CPMG-like gradient echo train, matching the magnetic susceptibility and adding an additional filter diffusion weighting, it was possible to acquire diffraction patterns of glass capillaries that were placed orthogonally to the main magnetic field. Furthermore, the feasibility of doing DPI in the presence extraporal water using our filtered approach was demonstrated.
