A tissue phantom for diffusion-weighted imaging was developed, basing its contrast between two compartments on different apparent diffusion coefficients, without contrast due to T2 relaxation and proton density. These contrast properties of the phantom simulate the situation found in normal gray mat
## Abstract ## Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of combining the inner‐volume‐imaging (IVI) technique with single‐shot diffusion‐weighted (DW) spin‐echo echo‐planar imaging (SE‐EPI) and DW‐SPLICE (split acquisition of fast spin‐echo) sequences for renal DW imaging. ## Materials and Methods
Single-shot echo-planar imaging is becoming the most widely used technique for magnetic resonance diffusion imaging, since it enables measurement of diffusion coefficients in human brain without motion artifacts. However, its reliability is limited by geometrical distortions due to eddy currents. In
## Abstract In this study, a method for whole‐body diffusion‐weighted imaging (wbDWI) during continuous table motion has been developed and implemented on a clinical scanner based on a short‐Tau inversion recovery echo‐planar DWI sequence. Unlike currently available multistation wbDWI, which has di
