We compared the image quality of the motion-compensated (MoCo) and conventional (non-MoCo) cardiac TSE-DWI by visual evaluation and homogeneity evaluation. MC-TSE-DWI achieved superior image quality compared with non-MoCo-TSE-DWI in all b-values and all segments. MoCo-TSE-DWI improves the image quality and may increase the diagnostic potential.
