Evaluation and Minimization of the Pseudohepatic Anisotropy Artifact in Liver Intravoxel Incoherent Motion
Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the pseudohepatic anisotropy artifact on liver intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) metrics and whether the use of multiple gradient directions in the IVIM acquisition minimizes the artifact.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Multiple breath-holding and forced shallow free-breathing IVIM scans were performed on 8 healthy volunteers using 1 and 6 gradient directions. Cluster analysis was carried …
