Luminal water imaging (LWI) has demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy than the current multiparametric MRI standardized protocol. In this new application, we further optimized LWI acquisition by decreasing the in-plane resolution without sacrificing SNR by applying two different reduced field-of-view techniques. Our new sequences provide improved in-plane resolution to delineate anatomical details and provide high-quality data for LWI analysis. This new LWI acquisition could replace the lengthy multiparametric MRI that suffers from technical challenges, inferior diagnosis accuracy, and a required contrast agent injection compared to LWI.
