We have recently introduced cross-term SPatiotemporal ENcoding (xSPEN), a technique with exceptional resilience to field heterogeneities. This study explores a multi-scan extension of xSPEN, which simultaneously yields ky/kz data containing low and high frequency components as well as transposed low-resolution z/y images, with unique downsampling characteristics. A reconstruction scheme converting this information into high resolution 3D images with fully multiplexed volumetric coverage is introduced. The Results provide a series of high-resolution multiscan xSPEN imaging examples and analyzes their sensitivity vis-a-vis commonly used 2D RARE and multi-slab 3D RARE MRI techniques.
