Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) has been mostly acquired using single-shot echo-planar imaging (ss EPI) to minimize motion induced artifacts. The spatial resolution, however, is inherently limited in ss EPI especially for abdominal imaging, even with the advances in parallel imaging. A novel method of reduced Field of View ss EPI (rFOV ss EPI) has achieved high resolution DWI in...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of high b value diffusion‐weighted (DW) imaging in differentiating between pancreatic carcinoma and mass‐forming chronic pancreatitis (MFCP).
METHODS: Fifty‐one consecutive patients with pathology‐proven pancreatic carcinoma (n = 37) or MFCP (n = 14) were evaluated with DW imaging (b value, 0 and 1000 s/mm2) at a 3‐T MR system. Overall 20 healthy volunteers were...
