Visualization of spontaneous mechanical activities in resting musculature using diffusion-weighted stimulated-echo imaging is highly depending on the sequence parameter settings as well as on the physiological parameters of the muscular contraction. Therefore, a concept for estimation of the visualization probability by using two contraction models is given in this work. Furthermore, the proposed concept is validated using diffusion-weighted measurements with varying diffusion-sensitizing times. The determined visualization probability is in good accordance to the relative number of visible spontaneous mechanical activities in the resting lower leg musculature.
