Diffusion weighted (DW) imaging is a standard component of many MRI exams. For musculoskeletal examinations, DW is used as a tool for assessing malignant and infectious/inflammatory processes. A recently developed novel silent and distortionless DWI sequence (DW-SD) has been previously shown to have less distortion and noise as well as having equivalent diffusion contrast and ADC values in normal tissues to standard echo-planar DW imaging (DW-EPI). We aim in this study to validate and assess this novel DW-SD method in pediatric extremity pathology cases.
