Simultaneous Multi-slice (SMS) techniques excite multiple slices simultaneously to accelerate MRI data acquisition. However, slice separation during image reconstruction is not exact and results in coupling between separated voxels. While this may not be critical for most anatomic imaging methods, small but consistent leakage of information from another slice in a DKI dataset will cause bias in diffusion parameter estimates. Here, we implement a randomized-slice pairing technique to alleviate this problem in diffusion MRI acquisitions.
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
