Diffusion‐weighted MRI of the lung at 3T evaluated using echo‐planar‐based and single‐shot turbo spin‐echo‐based acquisition techniques for radiotherapy applications

摘要

PurposeTo compare single‐shot echo‐planar (SS‐EPI)‐based and turbo spin‐echo (SS‐TSE)‐based diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients and to characterize the distributions of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values generated by the two techniques.
