We develop a new interleaved single-shot EPI method (isEPI) to reduce geometric distortions on EPI images.
Figure 2 Experimental results of ACR phantom in
inhomogeneous field. (a) Image acquired by interleaved single-shot EPI. (b)
Image acquired by conventional EPI. The yellow boundaries were extracted from the
standard 2D FSE image. The vertical stripes are induced by phase correction
error.
Figure 3 Results on human brain. Left column:
Images acquired by isEPI. Right column: Images acquired by conventional EPI. Both
isEPI and conventional EPI images were acquired with 2-fold acceleration. The
yellow boundaries were extracted from the standard 2D FSE image.
