Advances in Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

My career as a radiologist started in the early 1990s when only the very basic MR imaging techniques were available. They included the spin-echo sequence, without any adjectives such as fast-, 3D-, or turbo. MR examinations were lengthy and pastoral back then. I was, however, busy enough catching up with the very basic MR physics and therefore had no complaints about this simplicity. A few years of neuroradiology training passed by, and I then quickly became aware of the rise of a new tool, that is, echo-planar imaging (EPI).
