In this study, we demonstrate the Single carrier Wideband MRI technique and its associated blur mitigation method. The W=2 accelerated Single carrier Wideband MRI produced the same contrast comparable to the standard gradient echo imaging while reducing half the scan time. Our results suggest a potential to speed up scan time without losing image quality, which is valuable in clinical study.
