Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system for SMS MRI. During each of a plurality of frames, the system may cause an MRI scanner to apply a plurality of PE steps to each of a plurality of slice locations of a subject to acquire echo signals. A phase modulation magnetic field gradient may be applied during each of at least some of the PE steps in the frame. For each frame, the system may reconstruct an aliasing image representative of the slice locations in the frame based on the corresponding echo signals. The system may also generate a plurality of reference slice images based on the aliasing images. The system may further reconstruct at least one slice image based on the aliasing images and the reference slice images. Each of the slice image may be representative of one of the slice locations in one of the frames.
