BLADE based on two points Dixon is proposed, two echoes are acquired to create time dependent phase shifts caused by water fat chemical shift, they are called in-phase and out-of-phase images. The in-phase image is reconstructed with re-gridding, while the out-of-phase image is reconstructed by using all blades from in-phase image for phase correction. Sign detection based on region growing is used to correct the out-of-phase image before the calculation of water and fat images, making this method insensitive to inconsistent error or eddy current.
