A novel multiband technique for high resolution
diffusion weighted imaging is demonstrated in the breast
of a healthy volunteer. The proposed method uses a
phase-modulated 2D RF pulse that simultaneously excites
multiple co-planar bands of magnetisation in conjunction
with a refocusing pulse with multiband slice
selectivity. Reduced FOV encoding (i.e. in-plane
acceleration) and a generalised parallel imaging
reconstruction technique based on the complementarity
between coil sensitivities and excitation profiles are
used to obtain high-resolution diffusion weighted images
with limited distortion.
