Image distortion correction in EPI: comparison of field mapping with point spread function mapping.
Echo-planar imaging (EPI) can provide rapid imaging by acquiring a complete k-space data set in a single acquisition. However, this approach suffers from distortion effects in geometry and intensity, resulting in poor image quality. The distortions, caused primarily by field inhomogeneities, lead to intensity loss and voxel shifts, the latter of which are particularly severe in the phase-encode...
متن کاملHighly accelerated Point-Spread Function mapping based on Finite Rate of Innovation for EPI distortion correction
Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal Hybrid MR-PET scans enable acquisition of both types of images within a session. Despite consistent subject positioning, image alignment can still be challenging. Functional MR images rely on echo-planar imaging (EPI) and present geometric distortions due to static B0 field inhomogene...
متن کاملAccelerated Point Spread Function Mapping Using Compressed Sensing for EPI Geometric Distortion Correction
Introduction: Single-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a fast technique allowing the acquisition of an image following a single RF excitation. The high temporal resolution of EPI makes it the method of choice for applications such as fMRI or diffusion tensor imaging. However, EPI is prone to geometric and intensity distortions in the presence of magnetic field inhomogeneities. Several correctio...
متن کاملPoint spread function mapping for distortion correction of spinal cord diffusion weighted MRI
Introduction Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWMRI) is a promising method to assess axonal integrity in the spinal cord in vivo [1]. However, the fast imaging sequences required for in vivo DWMRI are sensitive to B0-field inhomogeneities caused by susceptibility differences around vertebral structures and lungs. Those inhomogeneities cause voxel shift that corrupt the anatomical ...
متن کاملComparison of EPI Distortion Correction Methods in Diffusion Tensor MRI
Introduction Diffusion weighted images (DWIs) used for Diffusion Tensor (DT) calculation are commonly acquired with Echo-planar imaging (EPI). Unfortunately, EPI is very sensitive to magnetic field (B0 ) inhomogeneities, which result in local geometric distortions in regions close to air-tissue interfaces. These distortions degrade the anatomical accuracy of DT-MRI maps and potentially increase...
