Abstract
Temporal diffusion spectroscopy (TDS) currently uses the oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE) experiment to measure the spectral density of translational velocity autocorrelation at single frequencies. Due to timing restrictions imposed by the transverse relaxation, the frequency selectivity and the sampling density of OGSE are limited, especially at low frequencies. We propose to overcome this problem by adopting the principles of Fourier transform spectroscopy. The new method of Fourier transform TDS (FTDS) uses two broadband gradient waveforms with different relative delays to make the spin echo attenuation sensitive to a broad range of diffusion frequencies with different harmonic modulations and calculates the spectrum by discrete Fourier transform. The method was validated by a measurement of diffusion spectra in highly restrictive tissues of a celery stalk and provided results consistent with OGSE, however, on a denser frequency grid.
