Diffusion-weighted MR-imaging (DWI) is an attractive non-invasive tool for staging and response evaluation of myeloma and metastatic bone disease. However, scans can last up to 30 minutes in whole body studies, which can hinder the adoption of DWI in clinical practice, especially in patients who are unwell. Here, we use a deep learning approach to establish that sub-sampled, but rapidly acquired images, could be used to reconstruct ‘clinical-grade’ DWI images, potentially reducing acquisition times (from ~30 to ~5 minutes). Such time savings could reduce scanning costs and spare patient time/discomfort.
