Abstract
Apart from phase encoding of the velocity of coherent motions, bipolar gradient pulses in coherence evolution intervals (or, equivalently, unipolar gradient pulses with a 180° pulse in between) can also serve for probing of incoherent displacements. In particular this refers to self-diffusion. Incrementing the bipolar gradients in subsequent transients, and evaluating the echo attenuation permits one to determine a diffusion coefficient for each voxel (see Sect. 19.2) [24, 31, 79, 482].
