Slice-following significantly reduces the scan time in cardiac diffusion weighting imaging by enabling free-breathing acquisition compatible with multi-slice coverage. However reduced field of view techniques result in a significant SNR penalty when combined with this multi-slice strategy. The objective of this work was to develop and evaluate a reduce field of view T2+ADC protocol compatible with multi-slice acquisition by using a “restore” pulse to improve higher SNR-efficiency.
