Diffusion MRI provides unique information on the structure, organization, and integrity of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) non-invasively. Higher b-values diffusion-weighted imaging could improve the detection rate of malignancies. We use the combination of DWI TSE Multivane XD and computed DWI to generate the high b values diffusion for nasopharyngeal whithout distortion, with higher SNR and less scan time. A in vivo comparison between actual scanned DWI and cDWI study was also studied on both volunteer and patients with NPC. The image quality is comparable. It shows cDWI is a promising technique for the NPC diagnosis.
