Correction for Chemical Shift Artifacts in Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography

¹Tu & Yuen Center for Functional Onco-Imaging, University of California, Irvine, CA, USA
Chemical shift artifacts in magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) degrade the accuracy of the reconstructed conductivity. In this study, we investigated the use of a modified 3-point Dixon technique to remove these artifacts in a simple fat/water phantom. The results demonstrate that this technique can be used to correct for chemical shift artifacts in MREIT.
