Elimination of residual aliasing artifact that resembles brain lesion on multi-oblique diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging with parallel imaging using virtual coil acquisition.
Single-shot diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (ssDW-EPI) acquired with parallel imaging and a multi-oblique scan plane may suffer from residual aliasing artifacts, resembling lesions on the calculated apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy Stage: 1 J.

Qualitative and Quantitative Reporting of a Unique Biparametric MRI: Towards Biparametric MRI-Based Nomograms for Prediction of Prostate Biopsy Outcome in Men With a Clinical Suspicion of Prostate Cancer (IMPROD and MULTI-IMPROD Trials).
Multiparametric MRI of the prostate has been shown to improve the risk stratification of men with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). However, long acquisition time, high cost, and inter-center/reader variability of a routine prostate multiparametric MRI limit its wider adoption. ⋯ A prediction model using qualitative IMPROD bpMRI findings demonstrated high accuracy for predicting SPCa in men with an elevated PSA.
