Background The recommended technique for breast diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) acquisitions is not sufficiently standardized in clinical practice. Purpose To investigate the intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of DWI measurements, diffusion‐kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters, and image...
