Diagonal single shot EPI (SS-EPI) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) potentially allows for reduced acquisition time with preserved image quality. In this study, diagonal DWI was compared to standard SS EPI 3-scan-trace DWI of the prostate in terms of image quality and quantitative ADC. ADC values were similar between the 2 sequences (coefficient of variation <4 %). Significant fewer artifacts were observed in the diagonal acquisition. These results show that diagonal DWI can provide substantial reduction in acquisition time (40%) while maintaining adequate image quality.
