## Abstract Use of the StejskalβTanner sequence for performing diffusion images in the human brain tends to be complicated by the presence of artifacts caused by voluntary or involuntary, sometimes pulsatile, motion. We describe the implementation of the technique of echoβplanar diffusion imaging,
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 s
## Abstract The effects on the phase of spins moving during echoβplanar imaging (EPI) acquisition were studied. Standard singleβshot and interleaved multishot blipped EPI acquisitions were considered, assuming either high gradient strength and slew rates or standard gradient strength and slew rates
