Diffusion weighted MRI is a useful technique for the diagnosis of neurological disorders. DW EPI is time efficient but suffer from geometric distortions. DW PROPELLER and its variants, including turboPROP and turboPROP+, have been proposed to generate distortion free images. This project improves the turboPROP+ technique by incorporating LRX RF phase modulation approach to improve SNR and signal stability, and by revising the phase correction algorithm to minimize residual artifacts. Volunteer results demonstrate reduced artifacts compared to the original phase correction algorithm, and increased SNR/image quality compared to original XY2 phase modulation.
