  • Methods, Systems and Apparatuses for Rapid Segmented, Accelerated, and Simultaneous Multi-Slice Echo Planar Imaging
    Publication number: 20150323634
    Abstract: A method for accelerated segmented magnetic resonance (MR) image data acquisition includes using a plurality of RF pulses to excite one or more slices of an anatomical area of interest according to a predetermined slice acceleration factor. Next, a collapsed image comprising the slices is acquired using a consecutive segment acquisition process. Then, a parallel image reconstruction method is applied to the collapsed image to separate the collapsed image into a plurality of slice images.
