High resolution 3D-RARE imaging at 9.4T can be very challenging due to increased artifacts caused by strong T₂- and Gibbs ringing. In this work, we present the combination of two correction algorithms, local subvoxel-shift unringing and T₂-compensation, to reduce effectively both types of artifacts. For this purpose, the local subvoxel-shift algorithm has been extended to the third spatial dimension and evaluated in healthy mice.
