Abstract

This work aimed to improve rat kidney diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) by using interleaved multishot echo planar imaging (EPI) with 2Dnavigators. The data of shots were combined to reconstruct the final images by using the IRIS processing pipeline. The in vivo rat imaging results show that the multishot EPI approach obtained renal diffusion-weighted images with higher resolution and less geometric distortion, compared single-shot EPI. The DWI of rat kidney can be significantly improved by 2D navigated multishot EPI.
