Abstract

PURPOSE: While multishot interleaved echo-planar imaging (iEPI) enables higher resolution diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) compared to single-shot EPI, its clinical application is hindered by the lengthy acquisition time. This study proposes a novel model-based reconstruction approach to accelerate iEPI DKI acquisition. THEORY AND METHODS: The proposed model-based framework directly estimates DKI…
