Impact of velocity- and acceleration-compensated encodings on signal dropout and black-blood state in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance liver imaging at clinical TEs

All of the diffusion encodings used in this study demonstrated suitability for routine DWI application. The results indicate that a perfect value for the level of M1-M2-compensation does not exist. However, among the examined encodings, the 84%-M1-M2-compensated encodings provided a suitable tradeoff.
