Synopsis

Keywords: Artifacts, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniques, multiplexed sensitivity encoding, reversed polarity gradientsThe aim of this study is to investigate the application of multiplexed sensitivity encoding diffusion weighted imaging with reversed polarity gradients in improving the image quality of uterine tumors. 10 patients with uterine lesions in our hospital were enrolled. Conventional SS-EPI DWI, MUSE DWI, and RPG-MUSE DWI sequences were employed. The subjective image quality assessment and objective data measurement of uterine lesions scanned by different DWI sequence was evaluated by three radiologists using double-blind method. The results of this study showed that RPG-MUSE DWI can greatly improve the image quality of the uterus.
