Results are shown whereby good-quality prostate DWI
results were obtained in a relatively-short period of
time (5 min), with improved geometric fidelity over
single-shot EPI imaging. The approach involved an
accelerated multi-shot diffusion imaging method
previously developed for brain imaging and adapted here
for the prostate. Measurements of prostate size
indicated an improvement in geometric fidelity by about
2.5-fold.
