Hello Experts
I'm working on some ex-vivo diffusion measurements in rodents at 9.4 Tesla and I was wondering if anyone had answers to a few questions.
Is it necessary to push the b-values high if we are only interested in cross sectional analysis with other ex-vivo brains? Obviously the values would be different than in-vivo scans but if the contrast is high enough and we aren't comparing with in-vivo brains is there any need to push the b-value up to 2000 or higher?
Are there any issues with the reconstruction of FA and MD maps through FSL for fixed tissue if I do use a higher b-value (say 2000)?
Thanks in advance
Patrick
