Synopsis

A Field-Mapping-Embedded (FME) EPI sequence is proposed in which the map is acquired during EPI acquisition without increasing scan time, using phase-encoded phase correction navigators. Results from in vivo experiment demonstrate accurate measurement and robust geometric distortion that performs favourably in comparison with existing techniques that require additional scans.
