✦ Synopsis

The method to reduce the ghost artifact in echo-planar imaging (EPI) using a phase correction derived from the image data (M. H. Buonocore and L. Gao, Magn. Reson. Med. 38, 89 (1997)) is generalized to multishot (interleaved) EPI, where the artifact takes the form of multiple ghosts. The method is shown to be much more sensitive to noise when applied to standard interleaved data than is the case with single-shot EPI, because the calculation must be based on high-order ghosts of low intensity. A modified interleaving scheme is proposed for multishot EPI in which the initial trajectory direction alternates in consecutive shots and the number of shots is odd. With this scheme, only a single ghost shifted by one-half of the field of view appears just as in the single-shot EPI, and the image-based phase correction can be applied with the usual sensitivity to noise.

Echo-planar images acquired in nonaxial planes are often distorted. Such image distortion has limited the applications of the echo-planar imaging (EPI) technique. In this article, it is demonstrated that a considerable amount of the distortion is caused by the higher-order magnetic field concomitant

When a linear magnetic field gradient is used, spatially higher-order magnetic fields are produced to satisfy the Maxwell equations. It has been observed that the higher-order magnetic field produced by the readout gradient causes axial echo planar images acquired with a horizontal solenoid magnet t
