We hypothesized that LIPO-only (LION) DWI might be one of the best solutions to improve the image quality of volumetric thin-slice DWI if it is further optimized to increase the robustness of fat suppression. We investigated the clinical usefulness of proposed LION fat suppression combined with thin-slice DWI for brain volumetric DWI in patients with acute stroke. LION-DWI has improved SNR compared to conventional DWI and has superior visual lesion detectability in patients with acute stroke. Therefore, it is possible to improve the image quality and shorten the imaging time of thin-slice DWI by changing the fat suppression to LION.
