Synopsis
Brain diffusion imaging by single shot EPI has remained challenging for the local B0 field variation, which leads to geometry distortion and signal inhomogeneity in the resulting images. In this study, we show that the brain single shot EPI image quality could be improved by correction of the geometric distortion and increased resolution, when compared to the traditional acquisition scheme. In-plane resolution of 1.2x1.2 mm2 was achieved and the distortion correction was effectively reduced.
