Abstract: Histology; Liver; Microstructure Histología; Hígado; Microestructura Histologia; Fetge; Microestructura Purpose Relationships between diffusion-weighted MRI signals and hepatocyte microstructure were investigated to inform liver diffusion MRI modeling, focusing on the following question: Can cell size and diffusivity be estimated at fixed diffusion time, realistic SNR, and negligible contribution from extracellular/extravascular water and exchange? Methods Monte Carlo simulations were performed within synthetic hepatocytes for varying cell si...
