Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) provides quantitative
and non-invasive assessments of cell density in breast
tissue. We recently developed a water selective DWI
acquisition obviating the need for fat suppression using
inversion recovery or pre-saturation. Instead, our
method relies on image-based shimming to identify the
water resonance during a pre-scan and then applies
frequency selective excitation on the water resonance.
In this abstract, we report a test-retest study to
investigate if the added complexity of this water
selective DWI method compromised reproducibility.
