Anomalous diffusion in biological tissues can be examined by diffusion MRI for various applications, including tumor diagnosis and measurement of brain fiber pathways. However, the measurement of anomalous diffusion requires high b‐values for the diffusion gradient in MRI, and current MRI methods cannot provide a high SNR. This study aimed to improve on the standard stimulated echo (STE) to enhance the SNR in diffusion MRI with high b‐values.
