未來如果能將去模糊技術實際應用到本研究上，就能大幅降低影像在加速後 所產生的模糊指標程度。本研究中，目前證明 SCWB DTI 技術已經能降低傳統 DTI 造影的掃描時間，達到至少兩倍加速的效果，未來如果能在增加更多加速倍率，
不管是 2D 或者 3D 的 DTI 造影，將能夠改善傳統 DTI 掃描耗時太長的問題，也 能夠提升本研究的應用範圍取得大鼠全腦的 DTI 影像。而在未來也能與本研究室 所研發的高溫超導表面線圈技術[61]，搭配多通道相位陣列線圈和低溫裝置，將能 夠結合寬頻磁振造影技術來取得大鼠脊神經的 DWI 影像和研究脊神經相關的疾病。
而且不僅是使用在神經相關疾病的研究，也希望能為在高時間解析度的前提下，
觀察像是心臟、胸腔等，容易產生假影的動態器官影像，利用更快的掃瞄速度來 觀察動態器官在隨時間快速變化狀態下的結構和生理變化也會是寬頻磁振造影技 術未來邁進的目標。最後，寬頻磁振造影技術應用在現今臨床的擴散磁振造影上，
還可以再結合常用的 EPI 技術實際應用在大腦臨床科學研究上。最後，寬頻磁振 造影技術應用到擴散磁振造影將會是未來的發展趨勢，不僅能加速掃描 DWI 影像 還能增加影像空間解析度，在臨床醫學疾病和大腦神經科學研究等都將會是一大 貢獻。
