Abstract
In this study, we have introduced two new approaches to EPI that allow the use of Cartesian parallel imaging in conjunction with continuous data sampling. In addition to providing a reduction in acoustic noise compared to the standard blipped PE EPI sequence, the proposed techniques improve sampling efficiency, resulting in a reduction of the echo-spacing. Of the two methods, the second approach, based on an iterative image reconstruction, provides higher SNR, but requires a longer reconstruction time.
