  • Title: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the upper abdomen: technical issues and clinical applications.
    Author: Bittencourt LK, Matos C, Coutinho AC.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am; 2011 Feb; 19(1):111-31. PubMed ID: 21129638.
    Abstract:
    Recent technological achievements have enabled the transposition of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with good diagnostic quality into other body regions, especially the abdomen and pelvis. Many emerging and established applications are now being evaluated on the upper abdomen, the liver being the most studied organ. This article discusses imaging strategies for DWI on the upper abdomen, describes the clinical protocol, and reviews the most common clinical applications of DWI on solid abdominal organs.
