Simultaneous multislice echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in patients with focal liver lesions: a comparative study with conventional DWI
SMS-DWI achieved a 37% reduction in scan time compared to CON-DWI while maintaining comparable overall image quality. Notably, the ADC values for FLLs were observed to be quantitatively lower with SMS-DWI.
