Abstract
Nyquist ghost artifacts in echo planar imaging ('EPI') are mitigated, reduced, or otherwise eliminated by implementing robust Nyquist ghost correction (“NGC”) directly from two reversed readout EPI acquisitions. As one advantage, these techniques do not require explicit reference scanning. A model-based process is used for directly estimating statistically optimal NGC coefficients from multi-channel k-space data.
