Comparing the clinical utility of single-shot, readout-segmented and zoomit echo-planar imaging in diffusion-weighted imaging of the kidney at 3 T

Abstract We compared the clinical utility of single-shot echo-planar imaging (SS-EPI) using different breathing schemes, readout-segmented EPI and zoomit EPI in the repeatability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements, cortico-medullary contrast to noise ratio (c-mCNR) and image qualit...
