MUSE (multiplexed sensitivity encoding) is a multi-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) technique used in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) that reduces distortion and blurring compared to single-shot EPI. Experiments using a breast phantom aimed to investigate the effect of varying parallel acceleration and number of shots on geometric distortion and quantification of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). A refined protocol was applied to a small cohort of patients to comparatively assess improvements in image quality.
