In this work, we study the effect of phase errors on the quality of image reconstructions for simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) readout-segmented echo planar imaging (RS-EPI) acquisitions. We propose an iterative split slice-GRAPPA (I-SSG) algorithm to train improved kernels using estimated diffusion weighted images (DWIs) rather than baseline images. Results from stroke patients show that the proposed I-SSG algorithm produces consistently better reconstructions than the SSG algorithm in the presence of baseline phase errors.
