Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is characterized by superior lesion to background contrast, and it has been applied in the brain e.g. to diagnose early-stage cerebral infarction. When used to image the body, however, strong artifacts are created by the non-uniformity of the magnetic field. Recent development of MR technology has nearly overcome this obstacle and enabled the clinical application of DWI.
