To optimize Simultaneous Multi-Slice (SMS) accelerated TSE sequences for ultra-fast imaging of patients with diabetic neuropathy, a phantom study was performed to determine the optimal Field of View Shift (FOVS) which is a key parameter for SMS, but depend on other imaging parameters and coil configuration. SNR maps for different FOVS were measured using a subtraction method combined with shifting ROI. The optimal selections of FOVS based on quantitative SNR measurement are in good agreement with the selections derived from visual evaluation of clinical images by radiologists. Such agreement provides additional confidence.
