Slab Boundary Artifacts (SBA) in Multi-Slab SPACE seriously affect the imaging reliability. Chemical shift is a main source of the SBA on high field system. In this work, it is shown that the SBA can be dramatically reduced by shifting the frequency of RF pulses and manipulating the polarity of the slab-selection gradients.
