In this study to the authors adapted the variable-TE cDWI (vTE-cDWI) technique to the abdominal region, using ADC map, T2 map and T1 map with IR-based images. The algorithm under evaluation allows computing diffusion images for arbitrary combinations of TE, b-value and TI based on four acquisitions (4-points method). This technique was shown to generate STIR-cDWI with higher SNR compared to the acquired STIR-DWI, as well as obtain ADC maps and T1 maps with optimal TI for any arbitrary tissue. The clinical benefits of the method and the preliminary results on volunteers are discussed.
