Clinical prostate DWI and T2-weighted (T2W) images from 408 3T MR examinations originating from 2 clinical datasets, acquired on Siemens 3T MAGNETOM Vida and Biograph mMR scanners, were used for paired distorted\/undistorted training data across low-b DWI (b\u2009=\u200950 s\/mm2), and scanner-provided ADC maps. The restoration network integrates a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based geometric correction module with a conditional diffusion refinement module, both guided by co-registered T2W images. Model selection and benchmarking were performed on a held-out synthetic test set (n\u2009=\u200934), against conventional algorithms using correction field mapping (FSL FUGUE and TOPUP). Model performance was evaluated in a retrospective study on 34 clinical scans with severe susceptibility artifacts drawn from the same clinical datasets, using quantitative image metrics and blinded radiologist scoring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>On synthetic data, the proposed DGR model achieved the highest peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and lowest normalized mean squared error (NMSE) across low-b DWI (0.089; 95% CI, 0.072-0.105) and ADC maps (0.062; 95% CI, 0.053-0.072), outperforming FSL TOPUP and FUGUE (all P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). In the 34 clinical cases affected by susceptibility artifacts, including 16 cases with histologically confirmed lesions (16\/34, 47.1%), DGR substantially improved geometric fidelity (2.74 to 3.29), identified all histologically confirmed lesions (16\/16, 100%), and enhanced overall image quality and diagnostic confidence (all P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This proof-of-concept study suggests that a physics-informed hybrid CNN-diffusion framework offers a practical and acquisition-free solution for correcting severe prostate DWI distortions.
