Core Tip With the popularity of 3.0T imaging systems, radiologists have commonly found limitations in abdominal imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) secondary to B1 in homogeneity artifacts at these higher magnet strengths. Because artifacts disturb diagnostic value of abdominal DWI, 1.5T systems have been mainly used for this particular purpose. However, newer techniques involving 3.0T using dual-source parallel radiofrequency (RF) excitation with parallel transmission and independent RF shimming have recently been developed which may succeed in addressing such limitations. Our study illustrates both the objective and subjective utility in the abdominal distribution while imaging under a 3.0T system which incorporates dual-source RF excitation.
