Combined T 2 * -diffusivity MRI is promising for assessing fetal and maternal health during pregnancy. The T 2 * -ADC spectrum potentially provides additional information on tissue microstructure, compared to measuring these two contrasts separately. The presented method is immediately applicable to the study of other organs.
