RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Motion artifacts are a significant source of error in the
acquisition and quantification of parameters from multi-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging
(DWI). The objective of this article is to present a reliable method to reduce motion-related
artifacts during free-breathing at higher b-values when signal levels are low. MATERIALS
AND METHODS: Twelve patients referred for magnetic resonance imaging of the liver
underwent a clinical magnetic resonance imaging examination of the abdominal region that …
