Inter-slice shift is one of the most important factors
for reducing g-factor in multi-band (MB) simultaneous
multi-slice acquisition. Previous study1 has shown that
the optimal distance of slice shift can deviate away
from intuitive choices such as FOV/Nslice However,
optimizing shift pattern is time-consuming because
iterative algorithms have to be used. In this study, we
propose a fast g-factor estimation model that can
approximately estimate g-factor versus slice shift
distance with closed form formula, with input of slice
number and one parameter quantifying the coil
sensitivity in slice direction.
