Research Abstract

In this study, we applied and modified the Readout Segmented Echo Plannar Imaging to breast high resolution diffusion weighted imaging. As a result, we resolved imaging distortion and low spatial resolution of conventional method and we could get high quality images of breast cancer without contrast media.
