Low frequency oscillating gradient spin-echo sequences improve sensitivity to axon diameter: An experimental study in viable nerve tissue
2017
NeuroImage
Overall, these results suggest, quantitatively and in in vivo conditions, that low-frequency OGSE sequences may provide improved accuracy of axon diameter mapping compared to standard SDE sequences. ...
However, a growing number of studies show that oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE) sequences can provide additional advantages over conventional SDE sequences. ...

Time-dependent diffusion in undulating thin fibers: Impact on axon diameter estimation
2019
NMR in Biomedicine
We study time-dependent diffusion in the frequency domain and characterize the diffusion spectrum by its height, width, and low-frequency behavior (power law exponent). ...
If the straight-cylinder assumption is used to interpret data from undulating thin axons, the diameter is overestimated by an amount proportional to the undulation amplitude and microscopic orientation ...

Quantification of cell size using temporal diffusion spectroscopy
2015
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
By combining measurements made using oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE) and a conventional pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) acquisition with a single, relatively long diffusion time, we can accurately ...
Oscillating gradients have been used previously to probe variations on cellular and subcellular scales, but their ability to accurately measure cell sizes larger than 10 μm is limited. ...
Oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE) sequences have emerged as a novel means to obtain much shorter effective diffusion times by replacing bipolar diffusion-sensitizing gradients in PGSE methods with ...
