Multi-echo GRE sequences using bipolar readout gradients
can offer efficient data acquisition for quantitative
susceptibility mapping (QSM), but the bipolar gradient
approach requires correction for phase errors. A simple
linear phase correction in read-out direction is
demonstrated in this study to allow accurate QSM in
human brain using the bipolar multiecho GRE sequence.
For all subjects and all ROIs studies, the bipolar
multiecho acquisition provides good quantitative
agreement with and reduces the noise in the unipolar
acquisition.
