Comparison of Reduced and Full Field of View in Diffusion-Weighted MRI on Image Quality: A Meta-Analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Reduced field of view (rFOV) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in MRI shows improved image quality, particularly with less artifacts and better lesion detectability compared to traditional full field of view (fFOV) DWI.
- A meta-analysis of 13 studies involving 765 participants indicated that rFOV DWI resulted in higher subjective image quality scores and was more effective in reducing artifacts, despite a noted decrease in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
- Overall, findings support the clinical adoption of rFOV DWI due to its enhancements in image quality, such as improved visibility of lesions and anatomical details, with manageable concerns about SNR reduction.
