Advancing free‐breathing liver diffusion‐weighted imaging with Propeller‐EPI: Improved image quality and ADC repeatability

The proposed FB DW-Propeller-EPI technique enables high-quality FB liver DWI with satisfactory ADC repeatability, outperforming conventional DW-ss-EPI in image quality and ADC repeatability. This advancement addresses the limitations of routine DW-ss-EPI in FB scenarios, offering a promising solution for clinical applications in challenging population.
