## Abstract ## Purpose: To improve image quality of diffusion‐weighted body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) at 3.0 T. ## Materials and Methods: In 30 patients and eight volunteers, a diffusion‐weighted spin‐echo echo‐planar imaging sequence with s
## Abstract ## Purpose To optimize the free‐breathing whole‐body diffusion‐weighted imaging (WB‐DWI) protocol by using the short TI inversion‐recovery diffusion‐weighted echo‐planar imaging (STIR‐DWEPI) sequence and the built‐in body coil. Additionally, to evaluate the feasibility of tumor screeni
## Abstract Diffusion‐weighted MRI (DWI) allows the detection of malignancies in the abdomen and pelvis. Lesion detection and characterization using DWI largely depends on the increased cellularity of solid or cystic lesions compared with the surrounding tissue. This increased cellularity leads res
