Synopsis

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a widely used tool for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, clinical routine liver DWI suffers from poor spatial resolution, severe geometry distortion, and image blurring since single-shot (SSH) echo-planar imaging (EPI) is used. Here we proposed an efficient solution for clinical high-resolution whole-liver DWI. The efficacy and generalization capability of the method were validated on healthy volunteers and HCC patients.
