## Abstract A new method is described that can correct the distortions due to multiple off‐resonance effects in echo planar imaging, including those caused by __B__~0~ field inhomogeneities, eddy currents, and gradient waveform imperfections. The proposed method uses a phase encoded acquisition and

## Abstract Many MR‐guided interventional procedures rely on fast imaging sequences for providing images in real‐time with a precise relation between the target position in the image and its true position. Echo‐planar imaging (EPI) methods are very fast but prone to geometric distortions. Here, we
A novel and effective technique is described for distortion correction in echo planar imaging (EPI) utilizing the field maps derived from multi-echo gradient-echo images. The distortions from different off-resonance related factors such as field inhomogeneity, eddy current effect, radiofrequency pul
## Abstract An algorithm for correcting the distortions that occur in diffusion‐weighted echo‐planar images due to the strong diffusion‐sensitizing gradients is presented. The dominant distortions may be considered to be only changes of scale coupled with a shear and linear translation in the phase
## 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 Diffusion‐weighted images acquired with the echo‐planar imaging technique are highly sensitive to eddy current induced geometric distortions that vary with the magnitude and direction of the diffusion sensitizing gradients. Such distortions cause misalignment of images acquired with dif
