Synopsis

Keywords: Breast, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniquesDiffusion-weighted imaging holds great potential in improving specificity in breast cancer MRI, potentially reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies. Additionally, breast cancer screening protocols would benefit from high-resolution DWI acquisitions, especially in the through-plane direction. In this abstract we explore multi-slice excitation as a promising parallel-imaging tool to improve through-plane image resolution.
