Synopsis

Keywords: Artifacts, Kidney, TOPUP, Field InhomogeneityEcho planar imaging is highly affected by field map inhomogeneity distortion artifact. Field map inhomogeneity has shown to be motion dependent in the kidneys. In the present work, we propose an alternative method for correction of magnetic field inhomogeneity for renal DWI in respiratory-resolved fashion. Specifically, we collect a series of forward and reverse phase encoded b=0 images to sample kidney motion caused by breathing, map the spatial and respiratory phase dependence of the magnetic field inhomogeneity, and correct each image of free-breathing DWI series according to their respiratory phase.
