Evaluating water selective DWI of the breast: A test-retest study

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.
