Patent ID: 11169236

Abstract:
Systems and methods include conversion of a first frame of k-space data acquired using a first initial readout polarity to first hybrid (kx, y)-space data, conversion of a second frame of k-space data acquired using a second initial readout polarity to second hybrid (kx, y)-space data, determination of a relationship between phase difference and y-position based on phase differences between a plurality of pixels located at kx=a of first hybrid (kx, y)-space data and a plurality of pixels at kx=b of second hybrid (kx, y)-space data, where a and b are constants, modification of the second hybrid (kx, y)-space data based on the relationship, conversion of the modified second hybrid (kx, y)-space data to a modified second frame of k-space data, generation of two single-polarity readout k-space frames based on the first frame of k-space data and the modified second frame of k-space data, and correction of a third frame of EPI image data based on the two single-readout polarity k-space frames.
