Summary

The magic asymmetric gradient stimulated echo (MAGSTE) technique offers superior molecular diffusion measurements compared to the bipolar pulsed gradient stimulated echo (bPGSTE) sequence, especially in complex environments. MAGSTE shows less variability and better characterization of heterogeneous systems.
