Incomplete initial nutation diffusion imaging: An ultrafast, single‐scan approach for diffusion mapping

Diffusion MRI is confounded by the need to acquire at least two images separated by a repetition time, thereby thwarting the detection of rapid dynamic microstructural changes. The issue is exacerbated when diffusivity variations are accompanied by rapid changes in T2. The purpose of the present study is to accelerate diffusion MRI acquisitions such that both reference and diffusion‐weighted images necessary for quantitative diffusivity mapping are acquired in a single‐shot experiment.
