Single shot readouts are limited in length by field inhomogeneity and R2* relaxation. With the inclusion of a complex field map, existing field corrected reconstruction algorithms can compensate for both field inhomogeneity and R2* relaxation during extended readouts. Results for spiral acquisitions of up to 56ms in length are demonstrated on a human volunteer.
