Keywords: Lung, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniquesThis study aims to compare multiplexed sensitivity encoding (MUSE) and single-shot diffusion-weighted echo planar imaging (SS DWEPI) techniques in lung MRI. A total of 22 patients with lung lesions were recruited in the study. Qualitative parameters included anatomic details, suscepti-bility artifacts, and diagnostic confidence; quantitative parameters included SNR and ADC of the lesions. The statistical studies demonstrated results that prove MUSE can provide better anatomic detail, lower susceptibility artifacts, higher diagnostic confidence, and improved SNR of the lung. MUSE is a promising technique for both clinical MRI diagnosis and treatment planning for lung lesions.
