To achieve high-resolution diffusion imaging with short echo times, single-shot spiral DWI using a recently developed gradient insert (strength=200 mT/m, slew=600 T/m/s) was implemented. The high gradient strength in combination with the spiral readout allowed for an echo time as short as 19 ms at a b-factor of 1000 s/mm2. The high slew rate enabled shortening of the spiral readout duration which reduces sensitivity against static off-resonance and T2* blurring artifacts, and allowed imaging with an in-plane image resolution of only 0.69 mm. First in-vivo results are presented.
