In vivo assessment of optimal b-value range for perfusion-insensitive apparent diffusion coefficient imaging

Purpose: To assess the optimalb-values range for perfusion-insensitive apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) imaging of abdominal organs using short-duration DW-MRI acquisitions with currently available ADC estimation methods. Methods: DW-MRI data of 15 subjects were acquired with eightb-values in th...
