[Abstract] By combining conventional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and multiple sensitivity encoding (MUSE) to correct random motion-induced phase variations, multiplexed sensitivity-encoding diffusion-weighted imaging (MUSE-DWI) can minimize image distortion, milder susceptibility artifacts and improve imaging quality in echo-planar imaging. Compared with traditional diffusion-weighted imaging, MUSE-DWI has improved matrix inversion conditions, better signal-to-noise ratio and higher spatial resolution. So far, the multiplexed sensitivity-encoding algorithm has improved imaging quality by integrates multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques and has been widely used in multiple organs. In this paper, we introduced some aspects including MUSE imaging technology, the basic principle of MUSE, multi-technology combined MUSE, clinical application of MUSE-DWI briefly.
