Abstract
An image dataset comprises multiple shots of imaging data acquired using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner (). The signal power of each shot of the image dataset is normalized () to a reference signal power to generate a power normalized shot representation having total signal power matching the reference signal power. A reconstructed image is generated () from the power normalized shot representations. Odd/even phase correction () may also be performed on the image dataset. The phase correction, normalizing, and generating operations are suitably performed by an electronic data processing device ().
