DWI is instrumental to screening and differential diagnosis of liver lesions. However, the diagnostic value DWI is often hindered by low SNR and severe image distortions, particularly in the left liver lobe. We explored the feasibility and efficacy of the combined use of AIR coil and multiplexed sensitivity encoding DWI (MUSE-DWI) in improving the image quality of liver. The results showed that MUSE-DWI with AIR Coil can effectively improve the image quality and reduce the image distortion of liver images, compared with the traditional abdomen coil, thus it is a feasible and effective method for detection of liver lesions.
