Comparison of DWI methods in the pediatric brain: PROPELLER turbo spin-echo imaging vs readout-segmented echo-planar imaging vs single-shot echo-planar imaging
American Journal of Roentgenology Apr 01, 2018
Kim TH, et al. - The target of the researchers was to compare DWI using single-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI), periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (Blade), and readout-segmented EPI (Resolve) for pediatric brain assessment in children with median age 9 years. Better quality regarding distortion, susceptibility-related changes, and lesion conspicuity were obtained via DWI with Resolve or Blade than with single-shot EPI. Findings demonstrated that Blade was less susceptible to motion artifacts than Resolve. On the other hand, less noise and better lesion conspicuity were yielded via Resolve compared to Blade.
