Tesla Respiratory b-value (× 10-3 s/mm2) Tumor Results
Kim et al[97] 3 RT 0, 100, 800 Mets Combined EOB-MRI and DWI yielded better accuracy and sensitivity
(Various)
Chung et al[98] 3 FB 50, 400, 800 Mets Combined EOB-MRI and DWI yielded better accuracy and sensitivity
(colorectal)
Koh et al[99] 1.5 FB 0, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750 Mets Combined EOB-MRI and DWI improved detection
(colorectal)
Löwenthal et al[100] 1.5 BH 0, 500 Mets DWI can detect small lesions
(colorectal)
Shimada et al[101] 3 RT 0, 500 Mets EOB-MRI showed higher accuracy
(Various)
Donati et al[102] 1.5 BH 0, 150, 500 Mets No added value of DWI
