Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for performing magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging of an object includes generating, via a processor, a diffusion weighted imaging sequence where all diffusion gradients are allocated into N groups such that all imaging slices are acquired for all the diffusion gradients corresponding to a group of the N groups back-to-back in A*TR, wherein N is two or larger, wherein Ais a number of diffusion gradients of each group of the N groups and TR is repetition time, and wherein in each TR every diffusion gradient of the group of the N groups is applied at least once. The computer-implemented method and system also includes acquiring, via the processor, imaging slices for multiple groups of the N groups utilizing the diffusion weighted imaging sequence during a scan of the object utilizing a magnetic resonance imaging scanner.
