## Abstract The time dependence of the apparent diffusion tensor of ex vivo calf heart and tongue was measured for diffusion times (Ο~d~) between 32 and 810 ms. The results showed evidence of restricted diffusion in the muscle tissues of both organs. In regions where the myofibers are parallel, the
## Abstract Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an emerging noninvasive method for evaluating tissue microstructure, but is highly susceptible to __in vivo__ motion artifact. __Ex vivo__ experiments on fixed tissues are needed to improve DTI techniques, which require fixed tissue specimens. Several e
