High resolution 3D MRI is becoming increasingly
desirable for many research and clinical applications.
However, certain MRI pulse sequences (such as EPI) can
only be performed in multi-slice mode, typically with
inadequate through-plane resolution. We present a
technique that allows scalable through-plane resolution
enhancement for multi-slice acquisitions. The method
employs multi-slice acquisitions staggered along Z
refined with novel deblurring algorithms. Isotropic
resolution in 3D is achievable when sufficient data are
available.
