Abstract
Methods for fast magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI') using a combination of outer volume suppression ('OVS') and accelerated imaging, which may include simultaneous multislice (“SMS”) imaging, data acquisitions amenable to compressed sensing reconstructions, or combinations thereof. The methods described here do not introduce fold-over artifacts that are otherwise common to reduced field-of-view (“FOV”) techniques.
