Why Is a b-value Range of 1500-2000 s/mm² Optimal for Evaluating Prostatic Index Lesions on Synthetic Diffusion-Weighted Imaging?

Published in: Korean journal of radiology (2021)

b-value range showing a homogeneous background signal may be optimal for evaluating prostatic index lesions on sDWI. Our qualitative and quantitative data consistently recommend b-values of 1500-2000 s/mm².
