Improved image quality and reduced acquisition time in prostate T2-weighted spin-echo MRI using a modified PI-RADS-adherent sequence
PI-RADSv2.1 suggests a standard T2WI sequence with 0.40 × 0.70 mm<sup>2</sup> in-plane resolution. A modified PI-RADSv.2.1-adherent T2WI sequence with equivalent but more isotropic pixel area (0.50 × 0.57 mm<sup>2</sup>) allowed reduced scan times by 23% and significantly improved DQ. Superiority of the modified sequence appears due to reduced motion sensitivity.
