Simultaneous multislice imaging (SMS) using parallel image reconstruction has rapidly
advanced to become a major imaging technique. The primary benefit is an acceleration in …

Progress has recently been made in implementing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
techniques that can be used to obtain images in a fraction of a second rather than in …

Several aspects of blipped echo‐planar imaging (EPI) are treated mathematically. An
expression relating the necessary readout gradient strength and sampling time to the spatial …

A method of magnetic resonance image acquisition and reconstruction is described in which
high imaging rates and fast reconstruction times are allowed. The acquisition is a …

Echo planar imaging is characterized by scanning the 2D k‐space after a single excitation.
Different sampling patterns have been proposed. A technically feasible method uses a …

We present a novel imaging procedure using multiple receiver coils. This circumvents the
sequential acquisition of signals required by conventional imaging strategies. The …

Background: To determine the potential ability of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance
(MR) imaging with single-shot echo-planar imaging (DW imaging) in the upper abdomen by …

Purpose To reduce the sensitivity of echo‐planar imaging (EPI) auto‐calibration signal
(ACS) data to patient respiration and motion to improve the image quality and temporal …

Ultra‐fast imaging traditionally implies either echo‐planar imaging on specially developed
gradient systems, or very short repetition time gradient‐echo imaging on standard magnetic …

The extent of contrast manipulation and the assessment of characteristic artifacts in imaging
studies of brain and knee as performed with novel variants of the Rapid Acquisition …
