Blipped CAIPI has been proposed for single-shot EPI
multiband acquisition. However, single-shot EPI is
susceptible to geometric distortions, which limit its
application for high resolution diffusion weighted (DW)
imaging. Multi-shot EPI may alleviate this with
interleaved acquisition. Thus a generalized blipped
CAIPI sequence and reconstruction framework was proposed
for multi-shot DW EPI. The propsed method has achieved
less distortions than blipped CAIPI single-shot EPI amd
comparable FA maps with single band excitation. Thus
this method will be valuable for fast high resolution
DWI or DTI in the future.
