COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Comparison of 2D single-shot turbo-spin-echo and spin-echo echo-planar diffusion weighted brain MRI at 3.0 Tesla: preliminary experience in children.
Clinical Imaging 2017 March
PURPOSE: To qualitatively compare a 2D single-shot turbo-spin-echo (ssTSE) diffusion-weighted imaging MRI technique with a spin-echo echo-planar imaging (SE-EPI) approach in pediatric neuroimaging.
METHODS: Images were acquired at 3T in 15 patients (10.6±6.0years). A neuroradiologist rated the data based on the severity of image artifacts from air-tissue interfaces and devices such as ventriculoperitoneal shunts and orthodontia, and whether their presence affected diagnostic image quality.
RESULTS: ssTSE was preferred over SE-EPI in diagnostic image quality and exhibited fewer clinically relevant artifacts (p<0.01).
CONCLUSION: ssTSE provides superior diffusion-weighted brain images at 3T, particularly in the presence of orthodontia and shunts.
