We developed a novel technique for high-resolution
bilateral diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the breast
that allows the same resolution and similar image
quality as clinically available reduced-FOV methods. The
longer scan time necessary for the extended coverage was
less than 5 minutes for aquisition of images with 2
b-values. With respect to conventional DWI, the proposed
technique offers improved anatomical delineation,
reduced distortion and more robust fat suppression.
