This study introduces a new high-resolution diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI technique using 3D steady-state free precession (3D-SSFP). It minimizes artifacts and motion, enabling detailed imaging of non-brain tissues.

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Medical Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • High-resolution diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI is crucial for detailed tissue characterization.
  • Existing DW MRI techniques face challenges with resolution and motion artifacts, particularly in non-brain anatomies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel high-resolution DW MRI technique based on 3D steady-state free precession (3D-SSFP).
  • To address signal contamination and motion-related artifacts in DW MRI acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • A segmented 3D-SSFP acquisition with inserted diffusion-driven equilibrium (DE) was employed.
  • Center-out slice encoding was utilized to optimize diffusion weighting in k-space.
  • Numerical simulations and experimental validation assessed the impact of imaging parameters (b-value, ETL, TR(g), Δt) on signal contamination.

Main Results:

  • The technique achieved high-resolution DW images with typical in-plane matrices of 256x192 or 256x160.
  • T(1) contamination was reduced by optimizing parameters like longer TR(g), smaller b-value, shorter ETL, and center-out phase encoding.
  • Motion-induced phase errors were converted to amplitude errors, preventing ghosting artifacts from bulk motions like CSF pulsation.

Conclusions:

  • The novel DW-MRI technique effectively produces high-resolution images with reduced artifacts.
  • This method offers a promising solution for high-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging of non-brain anatomies.
