The slice-specific ghosting artifact has been challenging for SMS-EPI. A standard 1D-based phase correction usually leads to increased residual ghosting artifacts in case of subject motion or eddy current variations at different time points. In this study, we propose a dynamic 2D slice-specific phase correction to address the slice-specific phase error. This correction scheme does not require additional time for acquiring 2D phase difference scans. It is a combination between slice-GRAPPA and model-based framework. The result shows that the ghost-to-signal ratios for MB3Ry2 in human brain obtained by the proposed and vendor-provided reconstruction were 1.37% and 2.66%, respectively.
