## Abstract Image distortion caused by gradient eddy currents is a major problem in the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), as using the uncorrected images for calculation of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and diffusion anisotropy will result in areas of artificially increased anisotropy a

## Abstract ## Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)‐enhanced fluid‐attenuated inversion‐recovery echo‐planar imaging (FLAIR EPI) for malignant liver tumors with that of T2‐weighted turbo spin‐echo (TSE), T2\*‐weighted gradient‐echo (GRE), and diffusion
## Abstract Partial __k__‐space sampling is frequently used in single‐shot diffusion‐weighted echo‐planar imaging (DW‐EPI) to reduce the TE and thereby improve the SNR. However, it increases the sensitivity of the technique to bulk rotational motion, which introduces a phase gradient across the tis
## Abstract Small gradient fields resulting from incompletely canceled eddy currents can cause geometric distortion in echo‐planar images. Although this distortion is negligible in most echo‐planar applications, the large gradient pulses used in diffusion‐weighted echo‐planar imaging can result in
## Abstract A new method is proposed for reducing the artifacts produced in diffusion‐weighted imaging. When data are acquired using multiple shot echo planar acquisitions, conventional reconstruction methods produce artifactual images as a consequence of diffusion weighting and small amounts of bu
## Abstract Ultrafast MRI technique has become available with the introduction of new generation MR scanners for abdominal imaging. However, there is no consensus about the optimal imaging acquisition at the present time. Because single shot echo planar imaging (EPI) technique is based on high tech
