Purpose To investigate the dependence of line scan diffusion imaging (LSDI) in the lumbar
vertebral discs on diffusion weighting, fat suppression (FS), and postprocessing noise …

The objective is to use DW-MR imaging using 3 Tesla MRI to assess the correlation between
the mean ADC with degenerative disk disease (DDD). We recruited 34 subjects and used …

Apparent diffusion coefficient values (ADC) of healthy intervertebral discs of young
volunteers in the thoracolumbar spine were determined using a single‐shot EPI sequence …

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the apparent
diffusion coefficient (ADC) and lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration using diffusion …

The value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements in intervertebral disc has
been studied because ADC provides an estimate of free diffusion of unbound water and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent findings suggest that diffusion-weighted imaging
might be an important adjunct to the diagnostic workup of disease processes in the spine …

PURPOSE: To determine prospectively the diffusibility of water in normal lumbar disks in
adults by using the mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and to determine if a …

We investigated the measurement error and repeatability of the apparent diffusion coefficient
(ADC) obtained using thin-slice imaging. Diffusion-weighted images of an ice-water …

Purpose: To compare image distortion and reproducibility of quantitative values between
reverse encoding distortion correction (RDC) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and …

Background Gradient nonlinearity (GNL) leads to biased apparent diffusion coefficients
(ADCs) in diffusion‐weighted imaging. A gradient nonlinearity correction (GNLC) method …
