DR-BUDDI (Diffeomorphic Registration for Blip-Up blip-Down Diffusion Imaging) method for correcting echo planar imaging distortions
We propose an echo planar imaging (EPI) distortion correction method (DR-BUDDI), specialized for diffusion MRI, which uses data acquired twice with reversed phase encoding directions, often referred to as blip-up blip-down acquisitions. DR-BUDDI can incorporate information from an undistorted structural MRI and also use diffusion-weighted images (DWI) to guide the registration, improving the qu...
متن کاملCorrection of vibration artifacts in DTI using phase-encoding reversal (COVIPER)
Diffusion tensor imaging is widely used in research and clinical applications, but still suffers from substantial artifacts. Here, we focus on vibrations induced by strong diffusion gradients in diffusion tensor imaging, causing an echo shift in k-space and consequential signal-loss. We refined the model of vibration-induced echo shifts, showing that asymmetric k-space coverage in widely used P...
متن کاملUsing PLACE for EPI distortion correction of diffusion weighted images (DWIs)
Introduction An EPI sequence can acquire the k-space signal of an entire slice in a single shot (after a single rf). While this allows for very fast signal acquisition, it comes at the expense of two well-known and important image artifacts: N/2 ghosts and distortion along the phase encode (PE) direction introduced by the inherent sensitivity to B0 inhomogeneity [1]. While there are phase corre...
متن کاملA variational approach for the correction of field-inhomogeneities in EPI sequences
A wide range of medical applications in clinic and research exploit images acquired by fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences such as echo-planar imaging (EPI), e.g. functional MRI (fMRI) and diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI). Since the underlying assumption of homogeneous static fields fails to hold in practical applications, images acquired by those sequences suffer from distortions in b...
متن کاملMultimodal Non-rigid Warping for Correction of Distortions in Functional MRI
This paper deals with the correction of distortions in EPI acquisitions. Echo-planar imaging (EPI) data is used in functional resonance imaging (fMRI) and in diffusion tensor MRI (dMRI) because of its impressive ability to collect data rapidly. However, these data contain geometrical distortions that degrade the quality of the scans and disturb their interpretation. In this paper, we present a ...
