Abstract
A method is described for producing rapid diffusion-weighted images us ing a modified low flip angle imaging technique. Utility of the method is demonstrated by the quantification of diffusion coefficients in a rat model of focal ischemia. The method may be readily applied to anim al research studies using NMR research systems with modest gradient ca pabilities.
