diffusion weighted imaging (dwi)

What Are the Limitations of DWI?

Despite its advantages, DWI has some limitations:
Susceptibility Artifacts: DWI is sensitive to artifacts caused by magnetic field inhomogeneities, particularly near air-tissue interfaces.
Limited Specificity: While DWI is highly sensitive, it may lack specificity as restricted diffusion can be seen in both malignant and benign conditions.
Technical Challenges: The quality of DWI images can be affected by patient motion and technical factors, requiring careful optimization of imaging parameters.
