DWIBS based on single shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a first-choice sequence in routine clinical examinations. However, it sometimes suffers from sever image distortion due to the presence of air within and/or at edge of the FOV, especially at the border of chest and abdomen. On the other hand, image based B0 shimming and blip-up blip-down distortion correction improved for image qualities of DWI. We demonstrated that whole body DWIBS applied both image based B0 shimming and blip-up blip-down distortion correction to provide higher robustness.
