Fig. 1B —32-year-old healthy male volunteer with normal MRI findings. Coronal images obtained at same level with two different diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) techniques: echo-planar imaging (EPI) DWI (A) and non–Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (non-CPMG) single-shot fast spin-echo (SSFSE) DWI (B), both at b = 600 mm²/s, and corresponding, respectively, to apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps (C and D). Increased signal with better background suppression is noted with non-CPMG SSFSE technique. Mean ADC (± SD) for right femoral head is 0.54 ± 0.17 and 0.31 ± 0.14 x 10^–3 mm²/s for EPI and non-CPMG SSFSE DWI, respectively. Please note that images obtained with non-CPMG SSFSE technique have decreased susceptibility-induced artifacts and increased signal-to-noise ratio compared with EP images.
