Acquisition, image quality, and PI-RADS agreement of ultrahigh-gradient DWI in prostate 3-T MRI
Acquired ultrahigh b-values (b2500-4500) using ultrahigh gradients of up to 140 T/m were utilized for prostate DWI. Both, overall image quality and diagnostic confidence decreased from good for DWI(b1500) to non-diagnostic for DWI(b4500). PI-RADS agreement between DWI(b1500) and DWI(b2500) was good, while it was only moderate between DWI(b1500) and DWI(b4500).
