abstract = {Diffusion pore imaging (DPI) has recently been proposed as
a means to acquire images of the average pore shape in an
image voxel or region of interest. The highly asymmetric
gradient scheme of its sequence makes it substantially
demanding in terms of the hardware of the NMR system. The
aim of this work is to show the feasibility of DPI on a
preclinical 9.4T animal scanner. Using water-filled
capillaries with an inner radius of 10μm, four different
variants of the DPI sequence were compared in 1D and 2D
measurements. The pulse sequences applied cover the basic
implementation using one long and one temporally narrow
gradient pulse, a CPMG-like variant with multiple refocusing
RF pulses as well as two variants splitting up the long
gradient and distributing it on either side of the
refocusing pulse. Substantial differences between the
methods were found in terms of signal-to-noise ratio,
contrast, blurring, deviations from the expected results and
sensitivity to gradient imperfections. Each of the tested
sequences was found to produce characteristic gradient
mismatches dependent on the absolute value, direction and
sign of the applied q-value. Read gradients were applied to
compensate these mismatches translating them into time
shifts, which enabled 1D DPI yielding capillary radius
estimations within the tolerances specified by the
manufacturer. For a successful DPI application in 2D, a
novel gradient amplitude adaption scheme was implemented to
correct for the occurring time shifts. Using this adaption,
higher conformity to the expected pore shape, reduced
blurring and enhanced contrast were achieved. Images of the
phantom's pore shape could be acquired with a nominal
resolution of 2.2μm.},
