Readout-segmented echo-planar imaging in diffusion-weighted imaging of the kidney: comparison with single-shot echo-planar imaging in image quality

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the image quality of readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (RS-EPI) and that of standard single-shot echo-planar imaging (SS-EPI) in the kidney in a rat model.
