3D multi-slab acquisition is a new technique for high-resolution isotropic diffusion imaging with sufficient SNR maintained. To fill the whole 3D k-space, multi-shot acquisitions are usually needed. However, this can cause the inter-shot phase variations. In this study, we propose a new k-space-based phase correction method for multi-slab diffusion imaging. This proposed method is based on a previous method termed GRAPPA with compact kernel (GRAPPA-CK). Furthermore, POCSMUSE algorithm is subsequently used to enhance the reconstruction of GRAPPA-CK. Finally, the newly proposed method is demonstrated to be compatible with in-plane acceleration in 3D multi-slab imaging.
