✦ Synopsis

Abstract

An algorithm for correcting the distortions that occur in diffusion‐weighted echo‐planar images due to the strong diffusion‐sensitizing gradients is presented. The dominant distortions may be considered to be only changes of scale coupled with a shear and linear translation in the phase‐encoding direction. It is then possible to correct for them by using an algorithm in which each line of the image in the phase‐encoding direction is considered in turn, with only one parameter (the scale) to be found by searching.

## Abstract ## Purpose To show the signal intensity varies with shot number in diffusion‐weighted (DW) echo‐planar imaging (EPI) and affects apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculation. ## Materials and Methods This prospective study was performed on 35 adult patients and 20 volunteers. Mea
