2D Diffusion Weighted Chemical Shift (DW-CSI) Imaging is
a challenging method which lacks robustness due to the
multi-shot nature of the acquisition, combined with the
low SNR and the relatively high gradient strength needed
for adequate diffusion weighting of the slow diffusing
metabolites. Here, we show for the first time a method
that accounts for both amplitude and phase inter-shot
fluctuations, and generates robust, reproducible and
anatomically meaningful DW-CSI and metabolite ADC maps.
