Diffusion-weighted MRI suffers from artifacts due to flow, concomitant fields and eddy currents. Different combinations of compensation for these effects were examined in phantom measurements as well as in vivo in the brain and in the prostate. The signal variations in the phantom measurements indicate that it could be advantageous to simultaneously compensate of all three effects over only flow and concomitant field compensation. This could not be seen in the in vivo results, where flow and concomitant field compensation proved to be as good as the full compensation.
