[Abstract] Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), as a kind of functional imaging technique, is an important complement to the conventional MRI in imaging diagnosis. However, the most common technique is full field of view diffusion weighted imaging (fFOV-DWI), which has some defects that cannot be ignored, such as poor image quality, low resolution of anatomical structure and serious artifact. With development of technology, reduced field of view diffusion weighted imaging (rFOV DWI) avoids the need to encode a large extent in the phase-encode direction, shortens the echo train and reduces off-resonance-induced artifacts in single-shot echo-planar imaging (ssEPI), resulting in significantly improved image quality. This review focuses on the theory and clinical research advances of rFOV DWI in the various organs for imaging diagnosis.
