Abstract

This technical note introduces diffusion-weighted (DW) MR neurography (MRN) of the sacral plexus with unidirectional motion probing gradients (MPGs). This is compared with DW MRN with three-directional and six-directional MPGs. This paper indicates that DW MRN of the sacral plexus should be performed with unidirectional MPGs.
