Isotropic resolution diffusion tensor imaging of lumbosacral and sciatic nerves using a phase‐corrected diffusion‐prepared 3D turbo spin echo

摘要

PurposeTo perform in vivo isotropic‐resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of lumbosacral and sciatic nerves with a phase‐navigated diffusion‐prepared (DP) 3D turbo spin echo (TSE) acquisition and modified reconstruction incorporating intershot phase‐error correction and to investigate the improvement on image quality and diffusion quantification with the proposed phase correction.
