Mri diffusion weighted

Unsure of what the diffusion one is and what they will be looking for.

Has anyone had this mri?

Hi, I don’t think you’ll notice any difference from the patient perspective. When they do an MRI they are using magnetism to look at soft tissue, diffusion is a different setting used by the radiographer, which will give a slightly different emphasis in the images (a little like using a colour filter on a camera). So no issue for you and hopefully a better set of images for your consultant.
