Reduction of the cardiac pulsation artifact and improvement of lesion conspicuity in flow‐compensated diffusion images in the liver—A quantitative evaluation of postprocessing algorithms

Purpose To enhance image quality of flow‐compensated diffusion‐weighted liver MRI data by increasing the lesion conspicuity and reducing the cardiac pulsation artifact using postprocessing algorithms. Methods Diffusion‐weighted image data of 40 patients with liver lesions had been acquired at 1.5 T....
