Distinct effects of nuclear volume fraction and cell diameter on high b‐value diffusion MRI contrast in tumors

While many recent studies have demonstrated improved detection and characterization of malignant lesions using high b‐value diffusion imaging techniques, little is known about the underlying physical characteristics of tumor cells that modulate the restricted water signal at high b on clinical scanners.
