[Abstract] Objective: To discuss the usefulness of reduced FOV diffusion weighted imaging in spinal disease.Materials and Methods: Fifty-three objects (20 normal, 33 with spinal lesions)were scanned with rFOV-DWI and routine DWI, and the SNR and image distortion ratio about this two DWI sequences were evaluated by two senior radiologists.Results: The SNR and image distortion ratio of rFOV-DWI are better than routine DWI.Conclusion: The rFOV-DWI can provides higher SNR and less distortion compared with conventional DWI. It can be easily performed, and is helpful in the diagnosis of spinal disease.
