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