Short summary
Diffusion MRI is a clinically important tool for noninvasive detection of pathological conditions that lead to microscopic changes in cell and tissue structures, but this technique suffers from interpretational ambiguities when applied to heterogeneous and disordered tissues comprising cells with multiple sizes, shapes, and orientations. We propose a simple scheme to encode the MRI signal with a sufficient amount of information to resolve and study all properties simultaneously.
