Choice of reference measurements affects quantification of long diffusion time behaviour using stimulated echoes

To demonstrate how reference data affect the quantification of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in long diffusion time measurements with diffusion‐weighted stimulated echo acquisition mode (DW‐STEAM) measurements, and to present a modification to avoid contribution from crusher gradients in DW‐STEAM.
