Relevance of b-values in evaluating liver fibrosis: A study in healthy and cirrhotic subjects using two single-shot spin-echo echo-planar diffusion-weighted sequences

Purpose To investigate the relevance of increasing b‐values in evaluating liver fibrosis through the agreement of two diffusion‐weighted (DW) sequences. Materials and Methods A total of 29 cirrhotic patients and 29 healthy volunteers were studied on a 1.5T system. Two single‐shot spin‐echo echo‐plan...
