## Abstract We present, here, a simple method for measurement and correction of off‐resonance related geometric distortion in echo‐planar imaging (EP1). This method uses high signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) EPI‐based field maps, rapidly acquired using a series of gradient recalled images collected acro

## Abstract At 1.5 T, the field strength of most clinical MR imagers, gradient‐echo Imaging Is the primary imaging method for measuring brain activation, as such sequences are highly sensitive to changes in blood oxygenation or T2\* effects. Unfortunately, gradient‐echo sequences are also extremely
The accuracy of measuring voxel intensity changes between stimulus and rest images in fMRI echo-planar imaging (EPI) data is severely degraded in the presence of head motion. In addition, EPI is sensitive to susceptibility-induced geometric distortions. Head motion causes image shifts and associated
## Abstract We show the feasibility of single breath‐hold volumetric imaging of the heart using a three‐dimensional (3D) segmented echo planar Imaging (EPI) pulse sequence. Fifteen healthy subjects were evaluated using three magnetization preparation schemes: (a) a driven equilibrium T2‐weighted pr
The purpose of this study was to assess gradient magnetic-field-induced acoustic noise levels associated with the use of echo planar imaging (EPI) and three-dimensional fast spin echo (3D-FSE) pulse sequences. Acoustic noise measurements were obtained from two different high field-strength MR system
