Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data acquired with interleaved EPI sequence are highly susceptible to inter-segment phase variations and aliasing artifacts induced by motion in the presence of strong diffusion weighting gradients. Here we report a novel and efficient approach to remove aliasing artifacts in interleaved EPI based high-resolution DWI data through developing a MUSE algorithm based on projection onto convex set (POCS) 2. The new technique, termed POCSMUSE, can provide high-quality image without navigator echo, and can be generally applied to DWI data acquired with arbitrary k-space trajectory.
