Diffusion weighted whole body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) is an important tool for whole body imaging to e.g. visualize malignant tumor and abnormal lymph nodes. Next to the low intrinsic SNR of DWIBS, direct coronal DWIBS can suffer from another SNR penalty due to the high acceleration factors to minimize distortion. In this work, we compare SENSE, C-SENSE and C-SENSE-AI (CS-AI) accelerated direct coronal DWIBS scans. Results indicate that CS-AI clearly reduces the noise artifacts, boosts the overall image SNR, and improves lesion conspicuity.
