Synopsis

Keywords: Liver, BodyDiffusion MRI in liver is key to detecting liver pathology. However, diffusion in abdomen is limited by its inability to use multi-channel surface coil for obese liver patients. Here we present a novel use of external gradient echo and spin echo navigators for diffusion imaging with a single channel volume coil for providing distortion less diffusion images. We also extend and demonstrate this technique on multichannel coil for Diffusion in Brain.
