Article Synopsis
  • Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a method used in brain tumor surgeries with intraoperative MRI, but traditional techniques like echo planar imaging (EPI-DWI) can suffer from image distortions and artifacts.
  • This study compares EPI-DWI and a less distorted technique known as turbo spin echo DWI (TSE-DWI) to see which one radiologists prefer during surgery.
  • Results indicate that TSE-DWI performs equally or better than EPI-DWI in terms of image quality, particularly in reducing distortions and artifacts, making it a better option for intraoperative imaging.
