520 3 |a Purpose: To compare image quality of monopolar and bipolar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences of the liver at 3T. Methods: 32 healthy volunteers (mean 27±8years; 27M/5F) and 11 patients (mean age 58±14years; 8M/3F) underwent liver MRI using a 3T system incorporating 2-channel parallel transmission for B1-shimming and reduced B1-inhomogeneity. Scans included free-breathing DWI sequences (b-value 0, 400, 800s/mm2) acquired using both monopolar and bipolar techniques. Estimated signal-to-noise ratio (eSNR), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and measures of subjective image quality on b-800 images, scored on a 1-5 scale by two independent radiologists, were compared between sequences. Results: Monopolar sequence demonstrated significantly higher eSNR (volunteers: 12.7±4.0 vs. 11.3±3.5, patients: 11.4±4.0 vs. 10.2±3.3; p≤0.013) compared with the bipolar sequence. Monopolar sequence also achieved significantly higher scores for reader 1 in volunteers and patients in terms of clarity of right lobe edge, clarity of intra-hepatic vessels, conspicuity of the left lobe, and overall diagnostic quality (p≤0.031), as well as significantly higher scores for reader 2 in volunteers in terms of clarity of intra-hepatic vessels, conspicuity of the left lobe, and overall diagnostic quality (p≤0.035). Respiratory motion artifact was not significantly different between sequences in patients or volunteers for either reader (p≥0.191). Hepatic ADC was significantly lower using monopolar technique only in volunteers (1.28±0.12 vs. 1.43±0.15, p<0.001). Conclusion: In comparison with past studies performed at 1.5T, when using a modern 3T system, we observed improved image quality of liver DWI using a monopolar, rather than a bipolar, acquisition scheme, largely attributed to higher eSNR.
