A simple simultaneous geometric and intensity correction method for echo-planar imaging by EPI-based phase modulation.

A simple simultaneous geometric and intensity correction method for echo-planar imaging by EPI-based phase modulation.

A technique, based on echo planar imaging (EPI)-based phase modulation factor maps, is described for correction of EPI distortions resulting from field inhomogeneity. In this paper, a phase modulation factor was employed to remove the distortions. The phase modulation factor was obtained experimenta...
