Recent technological achievements have enabled the transposition of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with good diagnostic quality into other body regions, especially the abdomen and pelvis. Many emerging and established applications are now being evaluated on the upper abdomen, the liver being the most studied organ. This article discusses imaging strategies for DWI on the upper abdomen, describes the clinical protocol, and reviews the most common clinical applications of DWI on solid abdominal organs.
近期的技术成就已使具有良好诊断质量的扩散加权成像(DWI)能够应用于其他身体部位,尤其是腹部和盆腔。目前,许多新兴的和已有的应用正在上腹部进行评估,肝脏是研究最多的器官。本文讨论了上腹部DWI的成像策略,描述了临床方案,并回顾了DWI在腹部实性器官上最常见的临床应用。
