Reduced field of view (rFOV) diffusion-weighted imaging in a patient
with locally advanced breast cancer. Shown are rFOV (a) T2-weighted (T2w) b = 0
image, (b) diffusion-weighted (DW) b=600 s/mm2 image, and (c) ADC map compared
to standard-FOV (d) T2w b=0 image, (e) DW b=600 s/mm2 image, and ADC map. The
rFOV images provide improved depiction of morphologic detail, intra-tumor
heterogeneity, and lesion conspicuity. Arrows = malignant lesion. (Adapted from
