Abstract
A phase correction method for MR devices includes collecting non-phase encoded reference data, calculating phase coefficients, and then phase correcting the regular phase-encoded image dataset based on these coefficients. The phase correction method can be used for two dimensional or three dimensional FSE imaging and variants thereof. As the method is conducted after signal acquisition, it is considered a retrospective phase correction.
