We evaluated the feasibility of clinical application for
Read-out Segmented (RS)-EPI DWI at 3T MR scanner with
32-channel head and neck coil, on both phantom study and
patient study by comparing with conventional Single-Shot
(SS)-EPI DWI. The RS-EPI DWI allowed a better
identification of structure and provided less-distorted
images than the SS-EPI DWI in head and neck area,
whereas RS-EPI DWI yielded similar ADC value to SS-EPI
DWI.
