EPI is of great importance in the MR community due to its wide applicability in various dynamic MR applications. Recent advances in EPI techniques extend its use for the depiction of neuronal activation with a cortical depth-dependence. Therefore, enhanced performance with reliable image quality is highly desirable in EPI. This work presents an in-house designed EPI sequence and its corresponding image reconstruction software at 7T. Results show that our EPI sequence outperforms two widely used sequences: Siemens-EPI and CMRR-EPI. In addition, our image reconstruction routine significantly improves the reconstructed image quality of Siemens and CMRR data.
