In this study is to adapt the short-TE cDWI (sTE-cDWI) technique, including the “Zero-TE”, validated previously in the brain4 to the abdominal region. The algorithm under evaluation allows computing diffusion images for arbitrary combinations of TE and b-value based on three acquisitions (3-points method). With this method we demonstrate it is possible to suppress T2 shine-through effects and as well as improve the signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratios of tissues with short T2 and low ADC. The clinical benefits of the method and the preliminary results on volunteers are discussed.
