Integrated slice-specific dynamic shimming for whole-body diffusion-weighted MR imaging at 1.5 T

Objective To compare integrated slice-specific dynamic shim (iShim) with distortion correction post-processing to conventional 3D volume shim for the reduction of artefacts and signal loss in 1.5 T whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI). Methods Ten volunteers underwent WB-DWI using conventi...

description Objective To compare integrated slice-specific dynamic shim (iShim) with distortion correction post-processing to conventional 3D volume shim for the reduction of artefacts and signal loss in 1.5 T whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI). Methods Ten volunteers underwent WB-DWI using conventional 3D volume shim and iShim. Forty-eight consecutive patients underwent WB-DWI with either volume shim ( n  = 24) or iShim ( n  = 24) only. For all subjects, displacement of the spinal cord at imaging station interfaces was measured on composed b  = 900 s/mm 2 images. The signal intensity ratios, computed as the average signal intensity in a region of high susceptibility gradient (sternum) divided by the average signal intensity in a region of low susceptibility gradient (vertebral body), were compared in volunteers. For patients, image quality was graded from 1 to 5 (1 = Poor, 5 = Excellent). Signal intensity discontinuity scores were recorded from 1 to 4 (1 = 2 + steps, 4 = 0 steps). A p value of

The sternum/vertebra signal intensity ratio in healthy volunteers was higher with iShim compared with the volume shim sequence ( p  &lt; 0.05). There were no significant differences between the volume shim and iShim patient groups in terms of image quality and signal intensity discontinuity scores.
