This works seeks to further improve the correction of
Nyquist ghosting in multi-shot (or segmented) echo
planar imaging. EPI is vulnerable to static local field
inhomogeneity and eddy current effects induced by the
EPI readout, which results in Nyquist ghosting.
Multi-shot EPI is further complicated by phase
inconsistencies that often occur between the acquisition
of each segment. PLACE and GESTE have been shown
previously to provide superior ghost correction in
single-shot EPI images. We demonstrate their further
effectiveness in segmented EPI with in-vivo brain data
acquired at 7T using a 32-channel head coil.
