RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Utility of Diffusion-weighted Imaging with Navigator-echo Technique for the Diagnosis of Spinal Epidermoid Cysts JF American Journal of Neuroradiology JO Am.

Motion artifacts are inherent on diffusion-weighted images of the spinal region; however, the navigator-echo technique compensated for this problem and provided high-quality images. Diffusion-weighted imaging with navigator echoes is considered to be a potentially useful tool in the differential diagnosis of spinal cystic tumors.
