Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 4:
5. The method according to claim 2, wherein the non-mono-exponential equation in step 1d) is of the form:

S(b)=S0(f·exp(−bDf)+(1−f)·exp(−bDs))

wherein, in this equation, S0 is a constant that depends on constant values associated with (a) the magnetic imaging apparatus, (b) the spin-spin relaxation time T2, (c) the spin lattice relaxation time T1, and (d) the spin density ρ,
wherein b is the diffusion encoding level, preferably determined for each pixel location, and
wherein Df is a parameter for the fast diffusion coefficient, and
wherein Ds is a parameter for the slow diffusion coefficient, and
wherein f is parameter for a fraction to account for the relative signal contribution of the fast and slow diffusion compartment.
