DWI is inherently T2 weighted and can caused problem such as T2 shine through. Relax DWI is a novel sampling scheme that can estimate T2 map with only one additional b value measurement compare to normal DWI. Relax DWI uses minimum TE for each b values. Additional data point at low b value and long TE assist in fit stability. T2 shine through can be corrected by remove T2 component from DWI at different b values. Examples like abdominal organs and peritoneal metastasis are shown.
