Synopsis

In this study we develop highly undersampled multi-band slab-segmented echo-volumar imaging (MB_EVI), which combines the sampling efficiency of single-shot 3D encoding with the sensitivity advantage of multi-echo acquisition, and explore the feasibility of shortening the readout duration using segmented within-slab slice encoding. Kz-segmented Segmented MB-EVI enabled a nominal 1x1x1 mm isotropic voxel size with 64 slices and a temporal resolution of 618 ms with sub-second acquisition time.
