Giving the prostate the boost it needs: Spiral diffusion <scp>MRI</scp> using a high‐performance whole‐body gradient system for high <i>b</i>‐values at short echo times
The combination of strong gradients and an expanded encoding model enables imaging of the prostate with unprecedented image quality. Replacing the commonly used EPI with spirals provides the inherent benefit of shorter echo times and superior readout efficiency and results in higher SNR, which is in particular relevant for considered applications.
