Joint modeling of diffusion and relaxometry in white matter is attractive due to its potential to provide unique insights into tissue integrity. We designed a diffusion MRI protocol containing varying b-values, b-tensor shapes, and echo times, employed machine learning parameter estimation, and studied the reproducibility of the Standard Model (SM) parameters. We quantified scan-rescan reproducibility in six healthy volunteers for compartmental water fractions, diffusivities, and $$$T_2$$$ relaxation times. We also found good agreement between SM parameters obtained from diffusion-only data at fixed echo time, and those from joint diffusion-relaxometry acquisitions, providing a consistency check for the SM assumptions.
