Combined diffuse scatter spectroscopy and diffusion NMR for quantitative characterization of microstructure

We propose a method for combining multiparameter data to inform a model of microstructure and validate it with data acquired from tissue-like mayonnaise. Quantitative recovery of microstructural parameters is improved using the combined model.
