In this work, the performance of diffusion-weighted DESS
sequence with golden angle radial acquisition is
compared with the standard DW-EPI sequence for imaging
the brain. Results show that radial DW-DESS sequence can
provide high resolution diffusion images without the
problem of susceptibility-related artifacts and N/2
ghosting. It is also demonstrated that self-gating and
phase correction techniques can be utilized to
compensate for motion-induced phase inconsistencies
among views and improve image quality.
