Key Points

The aim is to determine if reverse encoding distortion correction (RDC) enhances image quality and preserves ADC measurements during diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) on a 1.5-T MRI system.
Conducted in vitro and in vivo studies using diffusion-weighted imaging.
Evaluated both image quality and apparent diffusion coefficient measurements.
Utilized a 1.5-T MR system for all imaging assessments.
RDC significantly improved image quality compared to standard methods.
Apparent diffusion coefficient measurements remained stable across both in vitro and in vivo assessments.
Findings indicate the effectiveness of RDC in enhancing imaging performance.

Implication

Evaluates image quality improvements in female pelvic MRI, indicating enhanced ADC measurements.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate whether reverse encoding distortion correction (RDC) improves image quality and maintains apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) on female pelvic MRI using a 1.5-T in in vitro and in vivo studies.
