## Abstract A double‐pulsed gradient spin echo (d‐PGSE) filtered MRI sequence is proposed to detect microscopic diffusion anisotropy in heterogeneous specimen. The technique was developed, in particular, to characterize local __microscopic__ anisotropy in specimens that are __macroscopically__ isot
