Achieving submillimeter-resolution BOLD fMRI is a challenge since single-shot EPI suffers from long echo times, blurring, and image distortions, while multishot EPI suffers from motion- and respiration-induced shot-to-shot phase errors. In shuttered multishot EPI, data are acquired in each shot after exciting a set of interleaved “shutters” across the imaged slice. This enables high quality reconstructions from each shot, which in turn enables navigator-free shot-wise phase and motion corrections prior to reconstructing a full-FOV image. Herein we describe a full motion- and phase-correcting image reconstruction for dynamic shuttered EPI and validate it in head motion and BOLD fMRI experiments.
