DWI is a key component of the prostate MRI examination, but current prostate DWI images have limited resolution. Small-FOV DWI with SENSE often suffers from increased noise artifacts. We attempt to utilize a combination of parallel imaging and compressed sensing technique (C-SENSE) framework for reducing the noise artifacts in single-shot DW-EPI images (EPI with C-SENSE: EPICS). EPICS clearly reduces noise-like artifacts and significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of ADC values in small FOV high b-value prostate DWI compared with conventional SENSE DW-EPI, without any penalty for scan parameters.
