Diffusion-weighted MRI of the liver: challenges and some solutions for the quantification of apparent diffusion coefficient and intravoxel incoherent motion.
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: -values. This article reviews the technical developments of DWI and its applications in the liver. Challenges and some solutions for the quantification of apparent diffusion coefficient and intravoxel incoherent motion are discussed. Currently, acquisition protocols vary between research groups; patient preparation and data post-processing are not standardized. Increased standardization, both in data acquisition and in image analysis, is imperative so to allow generation of reliable DW-MRI biomarker measures that are broadly applicable.
