Abstract
Systems and methods for suppressing Nyquist ghost for diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging are disclosed. An exemplary method includes acquiring multiple k-space data sets using multiple sets of diffusion weighted imaging pulse sequences, reconstructing a magnetic resonance image from each of the multiple k-space data sets respectively, and averaging magnitudes of the magnetic resonance images to generate an average magnitude magnetic resonance image.
