EPI is widely used in neuroimaging applications.
However, many imaging artifacts are inherent in the
method, with Nyquist ghosting one of the most prominent.
Conventional methods to correct the sampling errors that
give rise to Nyquist ghosts typically model only linear
and constant phase error terms. In this work, we present
a Dual-Polarity GRAPPA method to address the limitations
of conventional Nyquist ghost correction. In-vivo
results are shown that demonstrate the ability of the
method to correct higher-order phase errors in EPI data.
